ELECTRIC ELEPHANT 2009 - DJ LINEUP ANNOUNCMENT
28, 29, 30 August 2009 in Petrcane, Croatia
Electric Elephant, the Croatian boutique festival run by the team behind Manchester’s legendary Electric Chair club, is pleased to announce a stellar DJ line-up for its second annual event, due to take place from 28 to 30 August 2009.
With an incredible list of international Djs to suit all tastes, the festival will see sunkissed and moonlit sets from Andrew Weatherall, Jesse Rose, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Bullion, Soul Jazz Soundsystem, The Unabombers, Danielle Baldelli, Andy Votel & Dom Thomas (Finders Keepers) Disco Bloodbath, Idjut Boys, Horse Meat Disco, Low Life, Aficionado, Basement Bogaloo, Emma (Chibuku), To The Bone, Andy Peek (C”mon Feet), Downtown Sounds and with more DJs to be confirmed soon.
The equally mouth-watering line-up of live acts will be announced shortly.
This year promises to be bigger and better – more people, more DJs, more music and more of the magic – but the organisers promise to keep the intiamte spirit of the first festival alive and are capping the capacity at 2,000. “It’s about being inclusive but minus all the claptrap of generic money making events that have no soul and no toilets,” they say.
In the spirit of expansion, the festival will now have opening and closing parties on the Thursday and Monday, and following on from the success of last year’s boat parties, there’ll be more water-borne adventures to be had, with two boat parties setting sail every day including a folk boat and a very special boat party hosted by Andrew Weatherall.
All this for a recession-busting £69.99 ticket.
The first festival had The Guardian proclaiming that “The Adriatic is the new Balearic.” We’re inclined to agree with them. Petrcane itself is a heavenly, 900 year-old fishing village with a forested coastline on the Adriatic Sea. The festival promises great weather, great restaurants and plenty of fresh fish, fruit and local wine. “It’s a beautiful place,” say the organisers. “It’s enchanting… You’ll fall in love.”
