It’s 2am…where’s the party?

We’re the only festival we know of to have a dedicated on-site nightclub, which means everyone can take full advantage of our all-night licence. Formerly a cowshed, the club takes on a different guise each year. This time it’s transformed into Camp Alcatraz. You’ll have to see it to believe it. The DJ line-up this year is arguably our best ever. On Friday Fabric resident Tayo who puts on the infamous Tracksuit Parties and “likes dressing up” will boost the bass playing 4/4, dubstep or breakbeat or garage, alongside XFM DJ Eddy Temple-Morris who runs the Remix club and area at Secret Garden Party, ex-Hacienda DJ and author Dave Haslam and our secret weapon, rising star James Delay.

Saturday night sees DJs flying in from all over the place. Ibiza Pukka Up resident Tim Fanucci plays all over the world but Standon is his favourite festival so he’s jetting in for this one. As is queen of the batty bassline Hannah Holland who flies in from Berlin. They’re joined by remixer extraordinaire Radioproof and a crew with a name our art director still has nightmares about. Cantmixwontmixshouldntmixdontmix take the ego out of DJing and the fun out of fitting words on line-up posters.

Sunday night’s festival finale is all about having a good old-fashioned party. Push It Good provides the sort of soundtrack you’d expect at an 80s hip hop house part. Kid Fiesta also play hip hop classics. And funk, and soul and house and disco. Mr & Mrs go down the reggae route while Pete Wheeler & Wellsy supply an infectious blend of disco-inspired electro with an unashamed party element that makes you think they hail from some continental town that spawns bright young Eurotrash rather than Reading.

If this wasn’t enough the Twisted Licks Stage is running its own late-night shenanigans with Pantha Du Prince, Filthy Dukes and StopMakingMe on the Friday and the Greco-Roman Soundsystem extravaganza featuring Gold Panda, Silver Columns, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Edwin Congreave (Foals) on the Saturday. Finally, we shouldn’t forget the swimming pool. Wetsounds is running an underwater disco here with other DJs including Houdini’s Picnic and Topside appearing throughout the weekend.

See you on the dancefloor!
