Electric Elephant 2015 Announces Headliners

Electric Elephant 2015 Headliners

Electric Elephant 2015 Announces Headliners

Electric Elephant is proud to announce its headliners as alt-dance duo The 2 Bears, house and garage pioneer DJ Harvey and Chicago legend Todd Terry

Curated for the first time this year by Broadwick Live - the creative force behind Festival No6 and Snowbombing – Electric Elephant 2015 promises to be the best yet delivering the ultimate Balearic blend of house, disco and electronica to the sun-kissed sands of the stunning Adriatic coast. 

Said Alexander Bennett, Director, Broadwick Live: “We really wanted to step the bill up this year but remain true to the roots of the festival and I think we’ve achieved that. All the Electric Elephant stalwarts are still in there but we’ve injected some new talent and also brought some big names on board like The 2 Bears, DJ Harvey and Todd Terry with more still to announce.

Combine this line-up with the amazing location and I think it’s fair to say we’ve created one of the best parties of the summer.” 

Also added to the bill is techno and electro innovator Will Saul, DJ and producer Luke Solomon - who recently delivered Radio 1’s Essential Mix - and contemporary house DJ Marquis Hawkes

They join an already impressive bill including Norwegian DJ and producer Lindstrom, house legend Derrick Carter indulging his passion for disco, Hamburg’s finest David August with a live house set, analog nerds Bicep, acid house pioneer A Guy Called Gerald and many more.

The 2 Bears said: “We pack our bag full of magical fire. Then merrily we backstroke across the Adriatic Sea to ride the Electric Elephant. We have heard tell and seen the scars of the wide-eyed ravers who have trod before us. This will be special. We are excited.

Todd Terry is also looking forward to the festival saying: “I cannot wait to throw down some beats on the Adriatic at Electric Elephant.”

With early bird tickets now sold out full festival access wristbands are available for a bargain £130 for the entire five days. Better still they can be purchased for a 50% deposit meaning your place in the sun can be for secured for a mere £65 with nothing else to pay until 10 May 2015.  

Brand new for this year are complete holiday packages available to buy on the website making it never easier to book your trip away. 

Electric Elephant offers a series of bespoke on-site accommodation packages including 3 or 4 person air-con apartments from £194 pp and the sumptuous Shikar Boutique tents that sleep up to 4 people in Bedouin-style splendor and real beds with bedding. DIY camping is also available for the hardcore at just £69 per tent. A variety of beautiful accommodation options in the old town of Tisno will be available in the coming weeks. 

More than just a festival, Electric Elephant offers a sublimely diverse range of sounds across the electronic spectrum. Set near the idyllic town of Tisno, it is a celebration of amazing music and glorious sun, an intimate paean to dancing the night away under a starlit sky until dawn with like-minded souls from around the world. Come and join the party. 

Electric Elephant takes place at The Garden, Tisno, Croatia on 9-13 July 2015. For more information including tickets, travel and accommodation packages visit electricelephant.co.uk

Europe’s finest boutique festival returns for its 4th year at its new stunning location of Tisno on the gorgeous Dalmatian coastline between Split and Zadar and with its best line-up yet!

Over four sun kissed days and nights Soundwave Croatia provides music lovers with the perfect environment in which to enjoy the finest bands and DJs from around the world playing beautiful, thoughtful, and inspiring sounds. Like-minded people from the UK and Europe come together to create a unique party atmosphere, which makes this hidden gem THE festival of choice for those in the know whilst seamlessly combining a summer holiday and music festival into one very unique experience all at a super cheap price.

This Year sees legendary kings of flower power hiphop De La Soul, the superbly soulful Fink, the deeply cinematic Hidden Orchestra, rising UK hiphop star Ghostpoet, the sublime Submotion Orchestra take to the Soundwave stage as well as over fifty other amazing acts providing all the sunshine music soundtrack needed for the holiday of a lifetime.

Alongside the main festival stages Soundwave also runs a number of boat parties that embark twice a day on the waters of the beautiful Adriatic Sea, with the Kornati islands only a short distance away expect stunning scenery and sunsets, on top of this the festival also boasts it’s own onsite club to dance the night away under the moonlight at until the early hours.

This year also sees the addition of a beautiful boutique campsite featuring thirty elegant Shikar tents from Jaipur, which bring a great addition of onsite sophistication to the festival. Take a dip in the Sea, pop back to your tent and then meet friends for some locally sourced food at the onsite festival restaurant. For those who want to kick back and relax alongside the awe-inspiring line up there is also Massage, Mini Golf and Table Tennis available onsite.

With plenty to do offsite, take in the local vibes with a stroll into the picture perfect local town of Tisno, enjoy the culinary delights of the local farming and fishing villages and explore the beautiful local Croatian coastline and national parks on foot, by car or jump on a boat and goisland hopping, or if that just sounds all too hectic kick back and relax on some of Croatia’s famous beaches before, during or after the festival. For more information please visit: www.croatia.hr

Soundwave has become the summer highlight for a growing number of regulars who return year after year with a third of the tickets selling before any artists are announced. With a handful of festivals starting up in the concrete tourist hotspots across Croatia Soundwave has become the festival synonymous with beauty in addition to its amazing line-up. Soundwave sells out early every year, as ticket numbers are limited to retain its intimate spirit so expect tickets to sell out fast!

Be part of this truly unique and exceptional festival this year!
