Festival Guide: We Are FSTVL

After the sell-out success of 2013, We Are FSTL needs no introduction. Making their way back to the Airfield of Dreams in Upminster where it all began, this year they are bringing along the biggest names in dance music for 2 days and 2 nights.

Taking place on May Bank Holiday weekend, between the 24^th and the 25^th, We Are FSTVL is playing host to over 150 artists across 16 stages and arenas.

If you’re into you dance music, then this is a party you will truly enjoy. Aimed at providing a robust club-leaning sound over a two day weekend in the beginning of the festival season, it is an event in beat-based extravagance, provided by some of the greatest creators in electronic music.

The stages boast a fusion of some of the most respected, recognised and established names on the dance scene, including renowned event Secret Sundaze alongside label-hosted tents from dance titans Defected Records.

The line-up for the Essex festival is a who’s who of the dance scene, with the likes of Disclosure, Fatboy Slim, Maya Jane Coles, Shadow Child, Sven Vath and many more.

Not content with presenting one of the best dance festival line-ups to date, organisers at We Are FSTVL have upped the ante with a brand new set of stylised arenas and structures. They have described occasion as a series of parallel worlds, allowing the people to choose the place that best suits their mood.

Standard day tickets are prices at £77.00, while a weekend ticket will cost you £149 (beware these are running low). Also on offer are VIP tickets which get you access to the luxury VIP Village, playing host to the legendary Circo Loco party on the Sunday, in addition to hot tubs, massage areas and private cocktail bars.

It is also worth noting that We Are FSTVL is non-camping so check out the online guide of where to stay. There will also be free buses after the event to various nearby locations.
