Gathering Of The Tribes
Easter (26.03. – 28.03.2004) in Frankfurt / Germany


The idea behind the festival is to invite tribes, labels and organisers from all over Europe. All of them have the opportunity to send ambassadors for their tribe. This delegates represents the tribe @ the party, whether in form of décor, performance or music. During the festival and the run-up the tribe is the important focus to be introduced and not an individual artist. All the benefit from the party goes to a project for street kids in Kosovo . You can learn more about the Playground @ www.theplayground.de , an english version of the website is available.

Three days provide enough space for activities other than the party, so there will be a wide spectrum of supporting programmes, including concerts, movies and so on. Also the festival will not be a pure trance event, cause there are 5 stages with any kind of music a (psychedelic) electronic heart demands.

The stages in detail:

Main Stage – Psychedelic Trance / Full On
2nd Floor – Progressive Tribal Trance (some call it TechHouse)
Live Stage – Chillout Area & Concerts
Experimental Floor – FolkloreFunk to PsyBreaks
Outdoor Area (only during daytime) – Psychedelic Funk&Chill
S.cond n.O.n S.ound Chillout – Restroom
