Gatecrasher Summer Sound System

 

Not content with securing two of dance music’s most heralded live acts, Gatecrasher have just announced the full details of their May Bank Holiday Weekender; and it truly is one of the most colourful celebrations of contemporary and retrospective dance music the UK has ever seen.

Falling in the year that sees acid house turn 20, Gatecrasher has lined up a weekend of non-stop celebration, combining the architects of dance music with the current crop of scene-setters. Prodigy, Paul Van Dyk, Chemical Brothers - we think you get the picture.

Where to stay:
It's a camping festival, so a tent would be desirable. If that isn't your thing, the Crown hotel in Brackley  may have some rooms left or try the Manor Grange Bed and Breakfast.
