• Brand new Barbarellas is now open air clubbing space, for dancing under the stars until dawn to see the sun come up
• After six years the festivals move to a beautiful new location, The Garden Tisno
• The festivals takes place 4th – 11th July – check www.thegardenfestival.eu and 12th – 16th July – check www.electricelephant.co.uk
• Also please note special double whammy tickets are available at £150 for both events
There are just six weeks until the brand new Garden Tisno site hosts its opening two events of the season in early July. Working together, this summer’s Garden Festival and Electric Elephant, whilst standalone events, also offer the unique Double Whammy package. Both festivals take place over 2 weeks in July, with The Garden Festival opening proceedings on Wednesday 4th July to Wednesday 11th July and Electric Elephant following up from 12th – 16th July for yet more sun-kissed partying on the sizzling Adriatic coastline. With record sales of double whammy passes already achieved, a new and very special guest has just been announced, playing in the brand new Barbarellas Discotheque, handing over from The Garden Festival into Electric Elephant.
Derrick Carter is widely acknowledged as one of the best DJs in the world. With innovative productions, flawless technical skills and an effortlessly joyful attitude of rocking a crowd, his influence has infiltrated throughout the spectrum of dance music. Derrick’s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside conformative club tastes, seamlessly incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz, and whatever else catches his fancy to jack the beat and rock the party. And after bringing Electric Elephant to a close in 2011 with an almighty Disco Bang, playing for 3 hours under the stars, Electric Elephant and The Garden Festival are honoured to welcome him back for more of the quite brilliant same, as DLC does the disco double whammy! For a reminder of just how good that was, check: http://soundcloud.com/blucu/dc-disco-electric-elephant-mp3.
Derrick will be playing at the brand new Barbarellas, one of the most exciting new elements of The Garden Tisno, on Wednesday 11th July. The new club is fully outdoors to dance the night away under the stars until dawn, with lots of fresh sea air, canopys of trees and be fully at one with nature. There’s Funktion One sound, two large bars for drinks and cocktails and the capcity is now a huge 1500. This was an important factor in choosing their new location, with the new club site giving many more people the chance to experience Barbarellas Discotheque in full flow. As well as coach transfers, it’s just a short taxi ride away from the main festival site and the club is also accessible by water taxi too. Barbarellas features packed schedules from both The Garden Festival and Electric Elephant, including:
