Dance.Here.Now. Festival 4-Day Open Air Festival on Governor's Island July 1-4
You have your common sense reasons: It won’t be over 100 degrees; you’ll avoid spending half of the weekend stuck in traffic; you’ll get to fire up the grill.
Now, the Dance.Here.Now. crew, in association with Pacha New York, Massive Event, Glo Fridays, and Cielo, is giving that devil on your shoulder his own motive for staying put in New York this July 4th weekend, July 1 to 4, 2011.
The DANCE.HERE.NOW. FESTIVAL is taking over Governor’s Island for an unforgettable four days and nights of epic parties with the world’s top DJs, with a sonic and visual onslaught by festival specialists AG Light & Sound.
From trance to glitch, big beat to electro-house, the roster features a huge span of styles and talents, all uniting under the blue skies of downtown NYC in a first-of-its-kind open-air festival in a historic venue.
No rushing from stage to stage to catch 30 minutes of your favorite act: DHN is dedicating entire days/nights to individual talents and their hand-picked support staffs. With big names like this, the DHN crew couldn’t imagine doing anything different.
Friday July 1: Paul van Dyk exclusive 6-hour set
Creating the right atmosphere has always been a major part of presentation at a Paul van Dyk (PvD) show, and for his appearance at Dance.Here.Now, festival-goers will get to experience selections from EVOLUTION—his new artist album in the works for release later this year enhanced by its complementing live show he debuted this past April at Coachella.
Saturday July 2: Fatboy Slim along with James Zabiela and Sleepy & Boo
You’re not from Brighton! The king of big beat, Fatboy Slim returns to New York to replicate the seaside feel of his original UK beachfront parties (which drew over 250,000 people at a time!) at Governor’s Island. Joining him is the ever-inventive James Zabiela, who has taken to spinning with an iPad. You need to see it to believe it.
Sunday July 3: Benny Benassi & Laidback Luke
Already familiar with how to rock Governor’s Island (the New York Times raved the last time he took the decks at Water Taxi Beach last summer), Benny Benassi returns. This time he’s joined on the bill by Laidback Luke, mastermind of that chunky, funky, electro-rocking sound. This mutually-admiring pair will inevitably drop their latest bombs: Benny, with selections from his new album Electroman including his destined-for-classic-status new anthem, “Cinema” and the irresistible “Beautiful People” featuring Chris Brown. Luke, his tornado-powered “Turbulence” with Lil’ Jon and Steve Aoki). Opening set by JDH and Dave P.
Monday July 4: Victor Calderone in association with Cielo w/ guests Nicole Moudaber & Nicolas Matar
Victor’s making a new July 4th tradition! For the second year in a row, New York’s favorite son in celebrating the patriotic holiday on Governor’s Island. Join him for an inspiring set of drums, bass and rhythm under the watchful eye of Lady Liberty.
