http://www.global-breakthrough.com/Global Breakthrough and Miller Genuine Draft confirmed today that one of music’s hottest tickets, Snow Patrol (Gary-vocals and Tom-keyboards), will perform a very special DJ set at this year’s five-day Global Breakthrough Festival alongside some of the finest DJ talent from around the world and South Africa. The festival kicks off in Cape Town on Wednesday 27 February and runs until Sunday 2 March, at prized locations that include Signal Hill and a helicopter hangar. A very special fringe event will also take place at The Godfrey Moloi Mansion in Soweto on 2 March, in what is expected to be the biggest international dance event this famous township has ever experienced.
The international line-up includes techno, house and minimal wizard Luciano, Circoloco-Ibiza’s prized resident who very recently was voted second-best DJ in the world by ResidentAdvisor.net. Also on the bill is deep house, jazz-infused Henrik Schwarz playing a LIVE set, and Âme – producer of the world-wide club smash hit Rej, who is also head honcho of Europe’s favourite deep house label, Innervisions. Alongside the visiting artists, a line-up of some of the most revered local talent will also be in action.
Says Miller Genuine Draft brand Marketing Manager Alistair Mokoena: “Apart from the massive entertainment value that this festival holds, it also serves as a space for artists to exchange ideas and gain learning from one another. The Miller Global Breakthrough Festival is an international talent platform for South Africa’s electronic industry and is run by people close to the scene.”
It is an experience that marks lives permanently, and without fail, positively.
