BLOC Weekend 2008!

BLOC is big and bold and bad and BACK. The galaxy’s premier three day indoor underground electronics showcase is set to land in a holiday park on the East Coast of the United Kingdom on 14th March 2008.

BLOC 2007 raised the bar for European festivals, with its immense lineup headed by electronic godfathers Autechre, alt-hip-hop originator Kool Keith and the mysterious, ghoulish Rhythm and Sound. The tickets were quickly hot, scarce property - every last one was snapped up six weeks before the festival’s opening night. Radio 1 broadcast the highlights over two shows to the nation and beyond, firmly cementing BLOC’s position as one of the UK’s premier underground electronic festivals.

BLOC 2008 is set build on this formidable legacy, developing a lineup that will coax the finest, the most reclusive, the most stupefyingly outstanding acts from the far-flung reaches of the planet to make a generation’s head spin once again.

BLOC will be held in Pontins Holiday Park, Hemsby, Norfolk from March 14th - 16th 2008. As all BLOC devotees will know, all of the 2,500 BLOC family are housed in apartments surrounding the three enormous central music arenas. There are no weather worries and all mod cons. Ticket price includes this accommodation. The music is twenty four hour, the party is relentless and the music is, well, sublime.
