So whilst rock music takes centre stage at some, there are others that feature the very best in dance. But one thing remains the same – those who get hold of festival tickets when they go on sale, are in for a memorable event as they share an experience alongside like-minded fans and take in a breathtaking atmosphere.
In the latter category is South West Four, or SW4 as it is sometimes stylised, which appears across the weekend in late August, with two days of big name dance acts taking centre stage in front of 20,000 fans. Each year it features these big name performers as well as more underground acts, to give some up and coming artists the exposure they deserve and to provide audiences with an abundance of choice. The result is a stand-out festival as South West Four tickets provide a dance event to remember.
South West Four has appeared annually on Clapham Common with each year seeing some top shows. Back in 2008 when the festival was in its fifth year, it attracted top acts like Carl Cox, Erick Morillo and John Digweed, as well as the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Layo & Bushwacka, Sven Vath, Green Velvet, Francois K, Sander Van Doorn, Nic Fanciulli and Gavyn Mytchel amongst others. It was a great year and one that provided an awesome experience.
So when it returned in 2009 it was hotly anticipated, with its sixth year featuring the likes of Sasha & Digweed, Layo & Bushwacka, Richie Hawtin, Armin Van Buuren, Dubfire, Timo Maas, Tall Paul, 16 Bit Lolitas, Anil Chawla and more, all of whom were split across the main stages. Once again, South West Four managed provide a dance music event to contend with and as it came to an end, the 2010 event could not come soon enough.
So when the line-up was announced for its seventh year, audiences were thrilled to see names like Armin Van Buuren, Fatboy Slim, Sasha, John Digweed, Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules, Carl Cox, Vitalic, Boys Noize, Zane Lowe, Ms Dynamite and more. It had outdone itself and provided fans with a spectacular line up that few festivals could match.
So make sure you are amongst those attempting to get hold of South West Four tickets when they hit the market. The event is one that dance music fans should not miss and instead they should ensure it is a compulsory date in the diary. It will allow them to see some of the best dance acts around and take away some spectacular memories.
