Cancel that holiday and clear your diary for Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July 2008 as the world's biggest dance music weekender returns bigger, better and louder than ever before!

After selling out every year since the launch in 2001, Global Gathering has become the world’s undisputed heavyweight champion of dance festivals. Last year, a whopping 50,000 revellers congregated from all corners of the UK at the renowned Long Marston Airfield over 2 days, creating the biggest dance and live music weekender in 2007. Headliners Faithless and Basement Jaxx nailed the live sets leaving everyone breathless while the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Carl Cox, Kissy Sellout, Sasha and many other amazing superstar DJ’s rocked and rolled everyone into the small hours.

The UK's original 2-day dance festival is set to return in huge style for an action packed summer.
Global Gathering tickets this year will bring you the largest arenas, the brightest light shows, state of the art systems and the most innovative visuals - all set up for the greatest DJs and dance acts the planet has to offer through all genres of electronic music you've ever heard of (and also some you probably haven't!). The Global Gathering lineup has been announced - and if you haven't already heard - it's BIG!

Global Gathering are extremely excited to announce a very special headliner for 2008's event. Making his exclusive UK outdoor appearance will be Kanye West. The multi platinum album selling and nine times Grammy award winning hip-hop legend will be taking centre stage at this year's festival bringing his electrifying 'Glow In The Dark Show' to Long Marston Airfield.

Set amongst the rolling green fields of Warwickshire at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford upon Avon, the festival will once again offer comfortable, secure campsites with free parking and a range of bars, stalls and entertainment of all kinds.

With a series of international success stories, Global Gathering has grown to become one of the world's most respected festival brands.
