Block9 announce 10th birthday line-up

18th April 2017

Block9 have just announced their Glastonbury 2017 line-up, with a supercharged 10th anniversary special not to be missed in the Festival’s south east corner. A decade after the NYC Downlow first appeared, some of the biggest names in dance music join the ranks to put on an epic, unforgettable party.

The Genosys outdoor arena, 50 tonnes of concrete, steel and glass, continues to explore the birth of electronic music and its lasting legacy with Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson, Panorama Bar residents  Steffi & Virginia, UK heavyweight Blawan, and Hercules & Love Affair Soundsystem.

The NYC Downlow returns in 2017 to celebrate a triumphant decade of homocentric house, disco, funk & soul featuring the cream of the international gay underground. Enter the sinister Meatpackers’ warehouse to hear legendary New York duo Masters At Work, Chicago taste-maker Michael Serafini and Berlin’s Prosumer tear the house down. Live performances from Mykki Blanco, Mandel Turner and Jonny Woo.

The mighty London Underground showcases the best of the capital’s pirate radio and soundsystem culture. Fatman Sound bring tuff roots reggae on Sunday night while Peason Sound promises heavy UK garage vibes on Saturday. Long time collaborators Rinse FM team up on Friday night with Hodge, Loefah and Youngsta. Hold tight.
