What better way to end the summer then on... Cloud 9 Festival???
A small 500 capacity underground music festival (with camping) overlooking the cloud* in the heart of cheshire's lovely countryside... and all for £20
There is a whole host of new and established talent gracing the decks over the course of the weekend from one of the UKs most promising tech talents Burnski who regularly rocks clubs like fabric and berlins watergate. To Matt Tolfrey's leftroom sidekick Marc Ashken bringing his new breed of techno productions and Radio Frequency first lady, Jo Kira's tough jacking beats. Not to mention a whole host of others from the Ketoloco, Micron and Audiofarm Lads to up and coming dubstepper Heppy J and technique new boy Christian Maiden.
On the Band side of things - "The Lamps expire" have had to pull out for personal reasons but in there place is a very talented up and coming local indie band "The Ritz". who recently supported the likes of Pete Doherty and whose unique blend of thought-provoking lyrics and catchy, hard edged guitar lines have already earned them many fans Also on the bill is Newly signed Stoke Band - "New Education" whose strong drum beats, thrashing guitars and slurry northern vocals have been compared to the likes of Oasis, And of course, Not forgetting local lads who have already hit it big in Europe - "Kill The Young" whose Big Choruses and even bigger riffs leavened with a hefty dose of self-loathing head up the bill.
Closing date: 15/09/09
