"Discover new sounds and indulge in
some wholesome yet decadent discovery."
Golden Down Festival is a brand new festival for 2012 - already organisers have confirmed a whole host of diverse and world-class acts, including Four Tet, Roots Manuva, Lee Scratch Perry and Kerri Chandler.
The festival will take place from the 15th to the 17th June in Black Bush Valley on the Matterley Estate. The festival will be an incredible summer playground, and promises party-goers a feel-good three days featuring a mix of eclectic acts and genres.
Artists will play from noon onwards and continue into the festival’s late night celebrations. However, the entertainment doesn’t stop there as revellers can enjoy Golden Down’s delights well into the early hours of the morning.
A handpicked selection of brilliant musicians will warm up the festival site during the afternoons; Submotion Orchestra, Floating Points, Lucy Rose, Stealing Sheep, Slow Club, Portico Quartet, Time & Space Machine and Adrian Sherwood (DJ Set) are all confirmed.
As evening dawns the next wave of enviable artists take to the stage, with Friday welcoming Ghost Poet, The Herbaliser, and ethereal headliner Four Tet. Saturday evening will see MOBO award winner Roots Manuva headline, with many more acts to be announced. Occupying the evening slot on the final day of the festival are Apparat and Dub Pistols, who are headed up by the legendary Lee Scratch Perry.
Late night at Golden Down will showcase some of the best DJs in the Dance Tent, including house legend Kerri Chandler, tech/house aficionado Portable, and the forward thinking Pearson Sound; along with ‘footsteppin’ Julio Bashmore, self-confessed ‘Galactic Funk’ DJ Space Dimension Controller, Leeds supremo Midland, and the genre-bending Ben UFO.
As well as crafting the perfect party atmosphere, chill out time at Golden Down will be unparalleled. There will also be a broad selection of fantastic bars on offer supplemented with award-winning fresh food at fair prices, plus big welcoming camp sites, plenty of toilets and washing facilities.
Golden Down - discover new sounds and indulge in some wholesome yet decadent discovery..
Organised by likeminded festival-lovers with a simple mantra to put on a brilliant festival done to the highest standards, Golden Down aims to take the festival back to its glorious roots.
Set in Black Bush Valley on a private estate the Golden Down Festival will provide you with the perfect weekend escape with space to breathe and party all night long in an intimate haven away from the hustle and bustle of reality.
Revellers can expect quality music transcending a variety of genres, with a line-up oozing with talent from across the board. Although extremely important, we know that it’s not just the music that makes a festival one to return to; often it’s the small things in life that are the most appreciated. Golden Down will not only provide you with audible treats and visual delights to stimulate your senses but also great bars with local beers, ciders and wines (and of course all your usual favourite tipples!) supplemented with award-winning fresh food all at fair prices, as well as big welcoming camp sites, plus plenty of toilets and washing facilities. Capacity is only for 5,000 people, keeping queues to a minimum and the festival intimate.
Whether you want a string of hazy summer days or a fun-fuelled weekend of music and dancing, you’ll find what you’re looking for along with lots of cheeky surprises. We can’t promise you that this festival will change your life - if we did we’d be lying - but we can promise that you'll meet new people, discover new sounds and indulge in some wholesome yet decadent discovery.
