BLOC move to London for 2012

BLOC bring the noise to London.


The unparalleled electronic music festival BLOC have riled fans by moving their rave to London Pleasure Gardens.

Formerlly held at Butlins in Minehead, where attendees got the use of chalets with their tickets, the new site will necessitate the use of London hotels - potentially ruling out non-Londoners.

The new site is the brainchild of Glastonbury's Shangri-La crew. It's a multi-faceted space designed to host art and cultural happenings during the Olympics and beyond.

The festival will make use of permanent structures - such as the Hub Stage from Shangri-La - plus a 30 metre geodesic dome. They will be building a main arena from shipping containers and delivering "next level sound and lighting" according to their website.

Check out the promo video for the new venue here.
