These are the new late night entertainment areas.
Block9
After the success of their acclaimed NYC Downlow, radical set designers
Block9 are back. The crowning glory of the Block9 field is the brand new
London Underground. A sinister, decaying tower block with a blazing tube train bursting from the top, this towering venue showcases the cream of London’s sound system underground. Plus, there will be disco, soul, funk and porn moustaches in the
NYC Downlow and live bands and debauchery in
DogFacedGeisha. Come and explore their wonderland of incredible creations and serious sound systems from sunset to sunrise.
The Common
The Common is home to bustling music venues, urban circus, late night bars, and a range of intimate sideshows. Watch performers on vintage Indian motorcycles at
Ken Fox’s incredible Wall of Death; expect the amazing, unusual, wicked sick, sorted, dirty and LARGE at
Bassline Circus: rave to 360 degree visuals in
The Igloo; grab a decapitated head at
Hook-A-Head! to win a prize; and visit
The Old Curiosity Shop to feast your eyes on bizarre artefacts and wondrous curios.
The Unfair Ground
Join Glastonbury legends the
Mutoid Waste Co. at their party at the end of the world, featuring their latest sculptural lunacy:
The Hellcopter, the nightclub of your wildest nightmares in the form of a Royal Navy helicopter crossed with a preying mantis. The brave can take a stroll down Sam Haggerty's
Joker's Sideshow Alley or indulge in the hedonistic delights of
The Acid House hosted by
Bez. You can also prop up the bar at the
Apocalypse Hotel, get down with the robots in
Reverend Sharky's Church Of The Holyroller, and check out underground art in the
MuTate Britain tent. Or join the lovely
Strummerville people around their campfire.
