DANCE.HERE.NOW. FESTIVAL
A 4-Day Open-Air Music Festival at Governors Island NYC
July 1, 2, 3 & 4
New York - You have your common sense reasons: It won’t be over 100 degrees; you’ll avoid spending half of the weekend stuck in traffic; you’ll get to fire up the grill.
Now, the Dance.Here.Now. crew, in association with Pacha New York, Massive Event, Glo Fridays, and Cielo, is giving that devil on your shoulder his own motive for staying put in New York this July 4th weekend.
The DANCE.HERE.NOW. FESTIVAL is taking over Governor’s Island for an unforgettable four days and nights of epic parties with the world’s top DJs, with a sonic and visual onslaught by festival specialists AG Light & Sound.
From trance to glitch, big beat to electro-house, the roster features a huge span of styles and talents, all uniting under the blue skies of downtown NYC in a first-of-its-kind open-air festival in a historic venue.
No rushing from stage to stage to catch 30 minutes of your favorite act: DHN is dedicating entire days/nights to individual talents and their hand-picked support staffs. With big names like this, the DHN crew couldn’t imagine doing anything different.

Aphex is on Friday
Gabe said
I wonder if he'd headline? I saw him a few years back at all tomorrows parties and he kinda went second fiddle iirc to the boredoms. He also tries to keep such a low profile, esp. when it comes to performing.
Brad K said
I'm hoping that it's not Portishead day, as it would likely interfere with Portishead or Kraftewerk
Gabe said
Aphex Twin was added to the lineup, not sure on which day yet though. Hopefully Portishead day.

Fortunately, every month there are a lot of events where one can enjoy his time and entertain his self. For example, there are great events that worth attendance like Coachella which provides different kinds of entertainment. And really this festival is ultimately attended. But every time in such hot events the problem of tickets is disturbing. Lately, I discovered an interesting website where to compare ticket prices for free and I find that it’s a great idea because this way I can find the cheapest offer. Here it is: http://www.ticketwood.com/concerts/Coachella-Music-Festival-2008-1-Day-Pass-Tickets/index.php

I just read the most hilarious thing on the interwebs re: people complaining about Jack Johnson headlining Coachella. "Jack Johnson makes Coldplay look like Cannibal Corpse".
