New dance festival announced for Edinburgh
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 1 July 2009
The line up is really taking shape for a brand new dance festival due to take place as part of the good old Edinburgh Fringe this year, just outside town at the Royal Highland Centre. Called EH1, and with plans to make this an annual event, the festival will take place on 15 Aug from noon until 6am. So, strictly, I suppose, it finishes on the 16 Aug.
It’s presented in association with a whole bunch of people, look: Colours, Streetrave, Godskitchen, Ministry Of Sound, Hacienda, Renaissance, Kiddstock, Eurodance, Hed Kandi, Carl Cox & Friends. The event will play host to 15,000 festival-goers and 100 artists, including Orbital, Roger Sanchez, Fabio & Grooverider, Candi Staton, Danny Rampling, Inner City, Peter Hook and Shaun Ryder. And event organisers promise that they’re ready for the potentially fun-spoiling Scottish weather, with both indoor and outdoor arenas.
Given it’s part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, I dare say we’ll be there. Because, as you all surely know by now, having had it drummed into you for years, our sister publication ThreeWeeks covers everything that takes place at the Edinburgh Festival.
