Detail: The award winning LIFE festival will be staged at Belvedere House Gardens and Park, Mullingar Co. WestMeath (Ireland) over the June Bank Holiday weekend in 2010. The LIFE Festival was recently been nominated for the BEST SMALL FESTIVAL OF EUROPE.
Now in its fifth year the festival has grown organically from 500 to 5’000 people following the music principles of its origins, it has built up a strong brand loyalty. LIFE calls on the community spirit of innovation, cooperation and volunteerism in art, entertainment and new technologies to create music and beautiful spaces. This is an important cultural event to be set in the heartland of mythic Ireland which has potential to develop into a larger festival. It is reminiscent of a "Mordail" a gathering from Irelands ancient past where artists, musicians, trades people and craft workers would gather to celebrate a particular meaningful date with a festival. The full line up for this years Festival will be released shortly. Among the most representatives acts that already performed in LIFE were Max Romeo (Jam), Finley Quaye (UK) Dreadzone (UK), Phill Hartnoll (Orbital) Alex Paterson The Orb (UK),Sebastien Leger (France), Carl Craig (USA), Altern 8 (UK), Christian Smith (Sweden),Goldie (UK), Caspa (UK), Calibre (UK), Highlight Tribe (France), Long Range (UK), Dj Marky (UK), Shpongle (UK), Hallucinogen(UK), Echotek (Israel), Grooverider (UK), Mala (UK), Green Velvet ( USA), Freq (Australia), Peaking Goddess Collective (Switzerland), ShaneGobi (South Africa), Anneli (Sweden), and many local talents like The Rye (Galway), Intinn (Cork), Analogue Mindfield (Dublin), Ronan Snodaigh “Kila”(Dublin), Talamh (Belfast), Wiggle (Cork), Super Extra Bonus Party (Kildare), Ciaran Byrne (Dublin), Electric Penguins (Dublin)....
The festival’s main music genre is an eclectic mix of different traditional music instruments backed with an electronic pulse.
