The Strongbow Rooms @ Lovebox

United Kingdom | 11 July 2005

Having brightened up London's Clapham Common on its last excursion, The Strongbow Rooms moves north of the Thames to Victoria Park as part of the Lovebox Weekender on 23-24 July.

Say whaaat? House music all night long!

The venue (unmissable with its eye-catching yellow sheen!) will be the stage for one of the best lineups of the entire festival, boasting a stellar lineup of dance music legends.

From the chunky house of X-Press 2 don Ashley Beedle to the soulful grooves of US jock-supreme Joey Negro, the Lovebox Weekender promises to host perhaps the best Strongbow Rooms party of the entire summer.

Others testing the tempo of fervoured festival-heads will be the ever under-rated DIY, the hypnotising Cosmo, as well as an enticing set from the mysterious Lovebox Superstars. (Who can it be...?)

And for those wanting something a bit more complex than a solid, thudding four-four beat, the smooth grooves of Gilles Peterson and epic hip-hop of Runaways might be more up your street.

Elsewhere at the festival there will be sets from Mylo, Groove Armada, Plantlife, Unabombers, and loads more to keep you amused.

But with the phatest soundsystem this side of Miami, and a lineup of some of the most experienced and dedicated party-givers ever to get behind a set of decks, we know where we'll be! The full Strongbow Rooms lineup is as follows:

Saturday 23 July
Joey Negro
Breakin' Bread
Runaways
Lovebox Allstars

Sunday 24 July
Ashley Beedle

Gilles Peterson and Dynamite MC
