Global Gathering goes stateside

United States | | 21 October 2005

Godskitchen will take its Global Gathering festival abroad for the first time in 2006, when the massive dance event touches down in Miami next March.

The two-day festival will take place on the 18th and 19th of March, and is based on the successful annual events in England and Ireland that have sold out every year since the first one in 2001.

No lineup details have been released yet, but a combination of world-renowned DJs, local jocks, and live dance acts is expected.

A spokesman for Godskitchen said: "After the unbelievable response for our events in the UK and Ireland this year we believed that there were many further cities worldwide that were crying out for a quality music event for upwards of 30,000 people. We decided that Miami was a prime opportunity for the first event.

"America has been lacking a festival like Global Gathering for quite some time. Our club in Las Vegas has done really well since it opened two years ago, so this festival is really just the next stage for Godskitchen in the US."

The two day festival takes place just before the Miami Winter Music Conference, an industry gathering for dance labels, DJs, execs, and promoters. It has also been timed to conincide with Spring Break, the notorious party week for students in the US.
