BLOC is taking a whole weekend in September to launch the 3rd BLOC festival, to be held in 2009.

Two capital cities, two consecutive nights of unforgettable international BLOC...

...On FRIDAY 19th September 08, BLOC boards the BATOFAR boat-club on the river Seine in Paris. This aquatic all-nighter will feature acid house originators PHUTURE 303, techno innovator SURGEON and an orrible motley crew of travelling BLOC gentlemen selectas.

Then it's just a swift inter-city rave train back to London for

SATURDAY 20th September 08 @ Unit 7: The BLOC London warehouse launch will wheel out PHUTURE 303 for another night of acid trax, dub-futurism badmen SKREAM & APPLEBLIM, electrotechno godfathers BILLY NASTY & RADIOACTIVEMAN and a by now half-crazed selection of BLOC gentlemen selectas in support.

Get Eurostar'd up for maximum BLOC launch impact, attend both raves and be able to look your grandchildren in the eye. You know it makes sense.
