Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: BLOC Weekend
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 12 March 2010
Yes I know, it’s only March, so maybe calling it spring is a bit premature, but to kick off the 2010 UK festival season we have possibly the UK’s best alternative electronic festival, the Bloc Weekender down in the West Country.
There are artists catering for many different electronic genres, and its a solid line up: Salt N Pepa (live), Adam Beyer, Kerrier District (aka Luke Vibert), Grandmaster Flash, Skream & Benga, Roots Manuva (live), Mix Master Mike, the Detroit Don Derrick May, DJ Rush, Joris Voorn, Luke Slater as Planetary Assault Systems (live), Lindstrøm (live), Appleblim, Nathan Fake (live), Ms Dynamite, Wiley, Sheffield’s finest techsters Autechre (live), the basshead Martyn & Kode 9, Pinch & Distance, DJ Hype, Zinc, MJ Cole, Billy Nasty, and the list goes on way further!
So, time to come out of hibernation mode and get on it for three days. Well, as long as you already have tickets; the whole thing went and sold out after I chose this as my tip. I’d pick something else, but really, there’s nowhere else better to be this weekend.
Friday 12 Mar to Sunday 14 Mar, Butlins Minehead Resort, Somerset, more info from www.blocweekend.com, press info from Rood Media and Big Box Media.
