stage with his almighty pioneering live show the spaceship that recently
wowed the crowds at Coachella and The Grammys. Knife Party, Zane Lowe, Jaguar
Skills, Feed Me and more will continue keep the basslines pumping throughout
the arena, and be joined by a very special guest performance from Andy C with

VIP

Building on the success of last year’s revamped site and epic new areas,
GlobalGathering is pleased to announce that the VIP ticket offering at this
year’s festival is set to take the experience to a whole new level.

Providing guests with access to the ultimate clubber’s playground and a
completely new audiovisual festival experience is the best VIP area
GlobalGathering has ever seen. 2012 sees the introduction of a plane crash
site theme, ensuring the sanctuary that is the VIP Fields and the party hub,
the VIP Woods, perfectly compliment Long Marston Airfield’s aeronautical
heritage.

Next to the VIP campsite and entered through a tunnel of windsocks, the VIP
Fields are a place to relax, recharge, socialise and enjoy the delicious
range of food and drink on offer throughout the weekend. With a Global Impact
plane crash theme, the Fields will be dominated by the cockpit of a plane and
feature chill-out areas including seating booths created out of graffiti
covered cargo boxes, cargo net nests, specially adapted tyres and the Global
Reclaim suitcase tunnel.

Tucked away between the VIP Fields and the main festival action are the more
intimate VIP Woods. The Global Airways Hangar will dominate
GlobalGathering’s very own enchanted forest, which truly comes alive at
night. An incredible two story structure styled as a retro airplane hangar,
the ground level will host a nightclub where VIP DJ’s and surprise guests
will ensure it’s the hottest, most exclusive spot on site. Upstairs, the
VIP Pilot’s Lounge will host a chillout area whilst outside, The Good Life
zone will be filled with hammocks for revellers who prefer their R&R under
fairy lit tries.

The VIP Woods will also invite guests to explore the secret pathways that
take them to hidden gems including The Enchanted Garden, an oversized
tropical oasis and the Mad Aviator’s Tea Party, featuring a long dining
table doused in colourful lighting and seating area (magic teapots not
included).

Alongside the UK event, GlobalGathering will also visit four countries across
the world in 2012 proving their status as the international leaders in the
electronic music market – with festivals taking place in Belarus (30th
June), Ukraine (14th July), Russia (21st July), and South Korea (6th
October). Check out www.globalgathering.com/world for more info.
