Lost Vagueness to Showcase First British Asian Music at Glastonbury
British Asian music will be represented at Glastonbury Festival for the first time this year, in an all-nighter blasting out of the Dome – an Eastern-styled live performance tent located in the Lost Vagueness area. Midnight ‘til 7am on Sat 26 June sees ‘The Br-Asian Experience’; bringing the best new Asian artists presented by Br-Asian, founder of the Asian Music Awards (equivalent of the MOBOs).
Headline performances are from Radio 1's Bobby & Nihal, BBC 1xtra DJ's Punjabi Hit Squad, Raghav, Rishi Rich project feat Jay Sean & Juggy D, Zeus, Metz & Trix, Sonik Gurus, Shiva Soundsystem, Kismet, Sona Family, Dhol Academy, Urban X Street DJs, and special guests.
The Dome is a collaboration between Continental Drifts and Gaiaspace, and is supported by Arts Council funding. An 18 metre space-age silver ‘temple’ amidst the Lost Vagueness field’s glamorous blend of sub-cultural madness, it features surround video visuals from Pentavision, tasty Eastern bites, and a chilled out Sheesha bar serving WHAT.
Chris Tofu of Continental Drifts comments: “This year, the Lost Vagueness field is diversifying its already progressive and quirky blend of entertainment by presenting the biggest talents in Eastern music. The Br-Asian all-nighter is one of the most definitive and significant events at Glastonbury 2004, taking Asian youth culture to a wider audience.”
Besides The Br-Asian Experience, other Dome highlights include Global Headfunk on Friday 25 June, Reggae Sounds featuring the Mighty Jah Works on Saturday 26, and Future World Funk on Sunday 27. Expect to encounter anything from Turkish belly dancing breaks to Celtic/dub crossover beats.
