AS THE FESTIVAL MARKET FEELS THE STRAIN OF HUNDREDS OF IDENTIKIT EVENTS THE ZOO PROJECT FESTIVAL PROMISES AN ENTIRELY UNIQUE EXPERIENCEFROM GORILLAS AND CONTORTIONISTS TO JULIO BASHMORE AND SASHA, THE ZOO PROJECT FESTIVAL WILL CHANGE THE FACE OF UK MUSIC FESTIVALS
The inaugural Zoo Project Festival is set to redefine the music festival experience in the UK. The team behind one of Ibiza's most prominent daytime events, The Zoo Project, will be bringing the Balearic sounds and surroundings with them to the UK against a backdrop of a real wild animal park in the form of Port Lympne. In a market that is saturated with festivals featuring the same artists, the standard old festival sites and the tried and tested festival formula, The Zoo Project Festival are truly embarking on something new this season. Encouraging their revelers to lose their inhibitions, dress up as animals and release their wild sides, the festival site will be a menagérie of lions, gorillas, birds of paradise, animal encounters, snake charmers, flying aerialists and many more. Tickets only £89.99, this three day experimental extravaganza is not to be missed.
The Zoo Project Festival will bring the likes of Sasha, Visionquest, Julio Bashmore, DJ Sneak, Raresh, Ben Klock and many more to a spectacular setting just 40mins from London's stunning St Pancras International station. Reality will be left at the gates of the festival as ticket holders enter a paradise of nature, both real and imaginary. Invited to dance the day and night away among skanking gorillas and raving rhinos, as party professors such as secretsundaze, Cocoon, Louche and Kaluki fill the jungle with the sounds of the White Isle. As if that wasn't enough, the Zoo team has also pinned down festival exclusives from Sasha & his Never Say Never brand, which was also founded in Ibiza and will be curated by the man himself, as well as the infamous Berghain's record label Ostgut Ton who will offer up the electronic sounds of Berlin. In addition to this fantastic sound, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park has just been named as the Best Overnight Safari Experience in England with its Livingstone Lodge wining the Gold Award at the VisitEngland Awards. Revered in Ibiza for its phenomenal gatherings in a deserted zoo, The Zoo Project has found a unique setting to provide a once-in-a-life-time experience for its expectant audience. The Zoo Project Festival will be an epic end to a packed festival season, one which promises to leave a lasting memory for those that are lucky enough to get tickets. Taking place from 14th - 16th September with ten stage hosts showcasing the very best in cutting edge, underground electronic music alongside some of the biggest DJs in the world.
