DANCE VALLEY 2008: A JOURNEY INTO SOUND

(Purmerend, NL) - The 2008 festival season is knocking on our doors, which means festival dates are now pouring in. The latest edition to your busy festival schedule is the Dance Valley Festival. 12th July is the chosen date for another edition for one of the biggest festivals in the Netherlands.

Over the second weekend of July, the recreational area of Spaarnwoude will be flooded with party-goers for the 14th time and it again promises numerous surprises. Dance Valley 2008 will be a musical voyage of discovery along new paths, exiting turns and uncharted areas.

Since most of Holland consists of flat and open plains, the rolling landscape of Spaarnwoude gives it a somewhat non-Dutch feel, and with the giant concrete artworks the surrealistic atmosphere will be complete. Over the last fourteen years the area has proved its potential and this year will be no exception. For the 2008 edition the organisers plan on using the area's natural beauty to the fullest.

However, a little more patience is required before the lineup is revealed. This year, the carousel of artists will be announced in a slightly different way. Each week, UDC will spread a newsletter in which they will announce parts of the lineup. We suggest that you subscribe to their newsletter to be the first to receive the lineup and latest updates on the festival.

To give you a sneak preview on what to expect, the organisation did announce the various areas for the 2008 edition. Besides the Dance Valley Main Stage, party people can get their feet going at Flashover Recordings, HQ, Renaissance, Electronation, Drumcode, Madhouse, Toolroom Knights, Stereo 70, Gregor Salto presents Bateria, Wicked Jazz Sounds, What's Happening Here, Gary's Global Castle, Chill on the Hill and Multigroove stages.
