Stratford-Upon-Avon: July

Friday 30th & Saturday 31st July

Global Gathering is one of the worlds largest dance festivals. It attracted over 75,000 revellers last year and is heavily supported by Radio 1. This really is a giant amongst dance festivals and a must go for true fans of dance music.

Global Gathering brings GodsKitchen's unique brand of midsummer madness to Long Marston Airfield. Their take on the festival format brings a new dimension to the club calendar, hijacking every aspect of dance music and combining it with some spectacular entertainment.

Forty thousand fans go crazy in a number of arenas packed with sound, lighting, video screens, visual arts and lasers. The music is a truly global reflection of dance, with more than 100 DJs and live acts. Previous years have seen The Prodigy, Orbital and Pendulum top the bill, alongside all-star casts of DJs including Paul Van Dyk, David Guetta, Carl Cox and John Digweed.

Away from the multiple arenas, white-knuckle rides and a traditional fairground keep everyone moving, while skate ramps, break dancing and graffiti artists keep fans busy between sets.
