Atmosphere, variety and personality are everything at this immersive, multi-level party kingdom that for one weekend each year turns the cliffs above Porthleven into a hotbed of masked shenanigans. Besides a fine lineup of DJs and live acts playing in a network of small “microvenues” (as opposed to huge stages) Ballers have an almost endless choice of fun daytime and nighttime activities to choose from. Surfing lessons are available to wash the hangover away, while those seeking to stay dry(er), stand up paddle boarding will give attendees a rare view of the festival from the sea. Beyond numerous activities they\u2019ll be a hot tub disco which replaces the conventional dance floor with hot, bubblying tubs of joy alongside yoga and more.<\/p>\n
As for the music, the lineup is stuffed with good time dance music of every stripe from the UK and beyond. Among the home standouts are edit kings Psychemagik<\/strong>, Scott Fraser<\/strong> and Joe Hart’s revered and long-running Body Hammer,<\/strong> a showcase of Andy Bainbridge<\/strong> & Chris stoker<\/strong>\u2019s brilliant Not An Animal label, Scotland’s endlessly talented Austin Ato<\/strong> (previously known as Drums of Death), and industry veteran Felix Dickinson<\/strong>, who counts DJ Harvey, Optimo and Andrew Weatherall among his fans.
