This summer the legendary Slam Tent is returning after a six-year hiatus as Slam and Edinburgh promoters FLY join forces. Across one unmissable three-day May Day Bank Holiday Weekender, legions of music fans will once again be welcomed back to what has become globally renowned as one of the biggest dance tents on the European festival circuit.
Organisers are thrilled to reveal the full line-up which will showcase sets from across the spectrum of electronic music inside the hallowed walls of the original Slam Tent as they recreate the greatest dancefloor that Scotland has ever seen.
Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle of Slam said: “We’re so happy to be bringing our iconic Slam Tent to Hopetoun House over the May Day bank holiday weekend. We’ve invited some amazing international DJs as well as a host of incredible Scottish talent to join us in celebrating its return! It’s been 6 years since the last one and we’re looking forward to welcoming a new generation of Scotland’s ravers and clubbers to enjoy this special and unique experience.”
Tom Ketley, Director of FLY said: “We’re delighted to be working with Scottish legends Slam in bringing back the Slam Tent. After a 6-year hiatus, the return of such a cultural institution will be an awesome way to kick off the summer festival season and we could not be more excited in welcoming a huge lineup, brimming with so many great Scottish artists alongside an array of international acts.”
Since its inception in 1997, for 20 consecutive summers, Slam’s cave of rave was an unquestionable highlight at Scotland’s premier festival, T in the Park and this summer it is set for an epic return with the infamous producer/DJ duo Slam, Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle, at the helm.
The Slam Tent set the bar for dance culture and was consistently invaded by festival goers the moment the doors opened, staying packed until the last beat dropped. Slam played every year without fail and were joined by some of the best artists in the underground scene, including luminaries such as Daft Punk, Nina Kraviz, Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Cox, Maya Jane Coles, Skream, Richie Hawtin, Basement Jaxx, Jeff Mills, Jamie Jones and The Chemical Brothers.
Tickets go on sale on Friday 18th February from noon via www.theslamtent.com
