Some of the world’s biggest dance music icons will be headlining this year’s Escape into the Park which returns to Swansea on Saturday June 12.
British trance group Above & Beyond will be joined by Swedish House Mafia god, Steve Angello and legendary DJ Judge Jules on the main stage as over 20,000 music fans are expected to flock to the city’s Singleton Park for the 11-hour event, which is nationally recognised as being the biggest event in the Welsh clubbing calendar.
Escape Into The Park 2010 boasts a stellar line-up of over 40 UK and international world-class DJ’s and acts across five stages including Escape Into The Park stalwarts Andy C, Darren Styles, Scratch Perverts and Lisa Lashes.
Commenting on headlining this year’s Escape into the Park, Judge Jules said: “I’ve played at Escape Into The Park many times over the years and it is without doubt one of the UK’s clubbing highlights of the year. I’ve played at all the best clubs and nights across the world and Escape Into The Park is easily up there with the best for having an amazing crowd. The atmosphere is always electric and it just keeps on getting bigger and better every year. I’m really looking forward to returning to Swansea’s Singleton Park – let’s hope the sun shines!”
A spokesperson for Escape Into The Park said: “Escape Into The Park continues to go from strength to strength. Following on from the success of last year’s event, we will once again be bringing the hottest acts in dance music to Swansea for what will be another day to remember. We’re delighted to have secured so many dance music icons for this year’s event and they join a long list of international superstars to have performed at Escape Into The Park. The combination of these top name DJ’s and the beautiful setting that is Singleton Park will once again help to make Escape Into The Park an unforgettable occasion. Escape Into The Park has created a loyal following from the Welsh public over the years, who have shown that they know how to party and I’ve no doubt that they will once again be up for the party this year and will help make it the day out for dance fans this summer.”
