    PIONEERS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC UNITE: THE PRODIGY, ORBITAL

    AND PENDULUM HEADLINE GLOBAL GATHERING 2009

    July 24th-25th, Long Marston Airfield, Stratford Upon Avon

    Global Gathering today reveals the magnetic headliners set to make

    waves at this summer’s festival. Set to cause a commotion this year

    will be electronic heavy weights The Prodigy, Kings of improvised

    techno Orbital, and bullish beat maestros Pendulum.

    Expect some heavy beats and high energy hooks at this year’s

    Global Gathering Festival as 55,000 people congregate at the Long

    Marston Airfields for a two day, non-stop electronic music weekender

    that brings together the world’s greatest live and DJ talent. The

    festival takes place at the height of summer and is set apart by its

    commitment to next generation technology with inter-galactic visuals

    and sound systems guaranteed to take the crowd “to another

    dimension”.

    Global Gathering throws open its gates from Friday 24th until 25th

    July. Electronic music aficionados and the world’s most glamorous

    clubbing cognoscenti abandon themselves to a euphoric marathon of

    aural ecstasy from all ends of the dance spectrum including House,

    Trance, Leftfield, Breaks and so much more.

    The Prodigy renowned for classics such as “Firestarter”, “Breathe”

    and “Smack My Bitch Up” are the ultimate rave renegades. With fans

    such as Prince William and Harry, this year’s Global Gathering may

    be the first to have a royal stamp of approval. The devilish trio, Liam,

    Keith and Maxim are renowned for their high-octane shows. There is

    no doubt their headline performance will have an ocean of fans

    dancing and jumping together for one of those never to be forgotten

    festival moments.

    Time lords, Orbital, will be celebrating their twentieth anniversary

    with their headline show at this year’s Global Gathering. With fifteen

    years of active service and a back catalogue of roof-raising anthems

    such as “Chime” and “Belfast”, Orbital are masters at building crowds

    into a frenzy of excitement. Mixing euphoric dance gems with

    perfectly placed samples of Bon Jovi, Belinda Carlisle and Ian Dury,

    they deliver a wicked sense of humour to their sets that never fail to

    impress.

    Having tasted their first bit of success following a remix influencer

    and co-headliners, The Prodigy, track Voodoo People, Pendulum

    single-handedly conquered the world of drum and bass in their first

    twelve months together. The Australian trio relocated to the UK after

    taking the charts by storm. Their rock-fuelled brand of drum and

    breaks has helped win them a much broader audience than most

    drum and bass acts.

    James Algate, Global Gathering Festival Organiser: “This year’s

    festival once again promises electronic music fans a stellar line-up.

    With the live stage, eight musical arenas, including the Godskitchen

    marquee, the biggest in Europe holding a staggering 15000 people,

    this summer’s weekend is set to be a crowd pleaser. The festival has

    always been pioneering in improving the customer experience and

    listening to feedback through the busy online community. This year is

    no exception and we are pleased to announce a deposit ticketing

    scheme for this summers festival.”
