One of the UK’s most celebrated electronic music weekenders lines up the 2016 return.
Following on from the epic milestone of 100 events, Bang Face returns to Southport for a long weekend raving in a classic British holiday park, 14-17 April 2016, it’s the perfect place for a music weekender. All the venues were designed for ballroom dancing and cabaret (the raving of the day) and are interlinked creating the buzz of a club atmosphere but on a festival scale. Plus everybody stays in a maze of self-catering chalets, the ideal place to lose yourself in the chaos but also survive without the stress of wondering when your next shower will be. It may now look a bit like a dystopian correctional facility but it’ll soon feel like home!
