Global Gathering 2012 Arenas:

The Main Stage this year will see live headline appearances from chart topper Tinie Tempah, bass pioneers Chase & Status, Indie-electro trio Friendly Fires, Maverick Sabre, Labrinth and many more.

In a massive festival first, superstar trance DJ and producer Armin van Buuren will bring the most popular trance radio show in the world, A State of Trance, to host an exclusive arena at GlobalGathering 2012. AVB will be broadcasting the show LIVE from the festival to millions of devoted listeners across the world and welcoming Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila, W&W and more to the arena over the weekend.

Headlining the all-new UKF Bass Culture arena is the standout breakthrough act of last year’s festival; Skrillex. The now global superstar will be bringing his live concept The Skrillex Cell to GG, fresh off the back of an international tour. Using motion capture technology to create the backdrop to his set, the famously vigorous Sonny Moore will have giant 3D projections in the shape of monsters, skeletons and robots moving in spectacular time with him. Knife Party, Zane Lowe, Jaguar Skills and Feed Me will continue keep the basslines pumping throughout the arena, with a very special guest performance from Andy C bringing his new live show Alive.

BBC Sound of 2011 duo Nero, singer-songwriter of last year’s smash Earthquake Labrinth, soulful Maverick Sabre, dubstep/rock foursome Modestep, chart-topping drum and bass legend DJ Fresh and liquid funk Belgian Netsky will all stage live shows across the festival’s stages and arenas.

2012 sees new arenas from Metropolis & Digital Soundboy and Visionquest, in addition to UKF Bass Culture and A State Of Trance. 2012 will also see the return of arena hosts Hospitality, Godskitchen, Toolroom Knights and Rinse, with two further terraces yet to be announced.

The self-titled Global Arena will this year showcase headliner Jamie Jones, recently voted the No.1 techno act in the Resident Advisor poll, as well as a festival exclusive back to back set from Joris Voorn and Nic Fanciulli, with sets from Maya Jane Coles, Heidi and a special guest appearance from Sasha.

Returning for a second year to host an arena are Hospitality, the worldwide event promoters of top UK drum and bass imprint Hospital Records.

Rinse FM fans are in for a treat as the capital’s most influential radio station returns to Global.

Skepta in another Global first, reigning queen of the MC’s Ms Dynamite, Zinc & Tippa, P Money, Emalkay, Plastician and Roska & Jamie George. Set to go off in just as explosive a style as it did in 2011, the Rinse arena will almost certainly be packed out.

Arena host stalwarts and one of the biggest dance brands on the planet Godskitchen will be bringing the world’s biggest trance superstars to the Airfield with explosive sets from Above and Beyond, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, John O’Callaghan and Cosmic Gate plus many more with unforgettable production and an unrivalled atmosphere.
