Tickets going on sale in Spain next week! And to celebrate the Rocket Festival crew are heading to the streets of Andalucía this weekend. Look out for a carnaval float decorated in the characteristic Rocket style, the unmistakable sound and colour of the Innerfield soundsystem and a possee of zany characters enjoying the spring sunshine with some top tunes.
The Rocket float starts its journey in Granada at Paseo del Salon at 14:30 on Thursday. From there the jamboree will make it's way around the city centre during Granada's lazy lunch hours. Head down and join in the party!
On Thursday night from 22:00 we are throwing a party in Sala El Tren, our favourite venue in Granada featuring up-tempo carribean sounds from Leroy Onestone and Wadada Sound System. Eat Prunes and the Lux Collective, fully recovered from a kicking Dragon festival will be giving us a taster of their new show, and Etklase + Loona, and Yoi bring some funky rhythms to get you dancing.
El Tren's famous after hours club continues in Rocket style with DJs Vikbass, Moa & Lazza from the Spin Buho massive in Madrid with locals McMactisse & dKila. Vivacious visuals are provided by Missplunket and lush decor from Turbozones Isabel.
Advance tickets are available for a vey reasonable 6€ from Minimal Stock, Discos Krisis, megalmusic, Jardines, Audiomatica and Sala El Tren.
Tickets on the door 8€, free beer before 23:00
On Friday the fantastic float dispenses big wads of luscious beats to the small towns around Alhama de Granada - it's not every day a 26 ton truck laden with jet-engine bass bins, super tall cowgirls and jets of flames pass through the sleepy pueblos - it will be an unmissable treat to be sure!
The schedule (approximately):
18:00 Zafarraya
20:00 Loja
22:00 Alhama de Granada
On Saturday night it's the turn of Málaga to benefit from the Rocket Truck's irrepressible presence at Plaza de la Merced at 23:00
