Bloc has a new home for 2012.
It’s the London Pleasure Gardens, in the Royal Victoria Docks. Set by the water’s edge, overlooked by the monolithic post-industrial derelict buildings of Britain’s former glory, licensed until 6AM, the Pleasure Gardens will provide Bloc with a home like no other.
The project is the brainchild of the crew behind the late-night area of Glastonbury known as Shangri-La. Their vision was to create a multi-faceted space in the heart of Olympic London to facilitate the arts and culture happenings that have made London what it is.
Bloc will use a combination of custom-designed structures and stages to deliver the next-level sound and light experience demanded by our Bloc family straight into their consciousness.
Making use of the permanent venues that will be at the pleasure gardens – the ‘Hub’ stage from Shangri-La for one, a 30 metre diameter geodesic dome for another – Bloc will also take advantage of the limitless versatility the venue has to offer by creating never-been-dreamed-of structures, including a vast custom-built main arena constructed from shipping containers. All the stages will be within walls and covered.
Matching Bloc’s hard-earned reputation for radical audio with Shangri-La’s magnificent production values as well as a 6am license will make the sixth annual Bloc festival like nothing the world has seen or heard before.
Ending aeons of speculation, the announcement of Bloc’s new venue is celebrated with an early bird offer that reflects Bloc’s great love of friendship and togetherness.
For one month only, if you and your mates buy five tickets for Bloc, you’ll get a sixth one for free. Hit this link to find out all about it:http://www.blocweekend.com/tickets
