Leave it to London clubbing institution (and holders of arguably the best soundsystem in the country) Fabric to throw a monster of a birthday party. After the sprawing weekender that was their 10th two years ago, their 12th year is being ushered in by a weekend-long session that sees the club’s doors open from 11pm on Saturday 22nd October to 5am Monday 24th October. Just in time to head for the nearest cafe, grab a snack and a coffee and hit the office, fresh as a daisy.
As usual for Fabric’s extended On & On & On sessions, they’ve invited a healthy selection of brilliant guests, including Ricardo Villalobos (whose sets at the club are legendary, stretching for up to six hours at a time), Detroit house maestro Moodymann, Berghain regulars Peter Van Hoesen, Ben Klock and Steffi, and London basshead Pearson Sound. It promises to be bracingly brilliant.
Full line-up:
Craig Richards, Terry Francis, Ricardo Villalobos, Moodymann, Margaret Dygas, Rhadoo, Space Dimension Controller, Maya Jane Coles, Lee Foss, Pearson Sound, Ben Klock, Peter Van Hosen (LIVE), Steffi, Soul Clap, Kubicle featuring: Three, Droog, Antonio De Angelis, Richy Ahmed
Ticket prices vary according to how long your body’s capable of handling the pressure. Whole weekend tickets (Saturday-Monday) are £23/£16 conc; Sunday-Monday tickets are £15/£10 conc.
