Underhill Festival: 30th July 2010
We’re bringing the Balkans to the West country, our launch at Underhill Festival promises to get you in the mood. A one-day festival of Balkan music set amongst Dorset’s countryside. We are teaming up with Scottish club night, Balkanarama to bring you a hot Balkan Instrumental orgy. Later on the music gets a little heavier as we team up with music blog ‘You Can Call Me Pelski’ who will take us into the early hours with DJs playing dubstep, house, techno, and Balkan influenced dance music.
There will be plentiful food and local brews on offer. Try the Cheddar Valley for a really good night… The launch party will be free to all those on the rally, for everyone else, they are able to buy a ticket here. (Website coming shortly...)
The Hague – After Party: 31st July 2010
This year, The Balkan Rally is redefining the after party… You don’t have long to get yourselves from the West Country to the Netherlands, but we don’t mind waiting up. For all those who brake down, miss their ferry and got a puncture – you’re already behind!
With Amsterdam no doubt on your mind, we’ll break you in to life on the continent. We’re working exclusively with a top promoter in The Hague to offer you a truly unique experience. A huge glass beach house by the sea waits your arrival.
Finsh Party – Lake Ohrid: 12th August 2010
The finish party takes place on the shores of Lake Ohrid in Macedonia – one of the most beautiful corners of Europe, on a beach.
We start with traditional local music. This time showcasing the best gypsy polka the Balkans have to offer. A barbecue will be cooking up the finest Tavče Gravče whilst the bar will be serving throughout the night to keep everyone liquidated.
Later on, the music will move onto some of the Balkan’s biggest beats to keep you going strong until the sunshine appears.
Meet Our Translator...
By George
The vast majority of the clubs we communicate with don't speak English. Negotiating the terms of your discounts would be an impossible task without the help of Emanuela Markova.
Emi speaks Bulagarian, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian, French and English fluently. We would be lost without her...
The Line Up is up!
By JamesWhen we created the rally we really wanted to give people a taster of the best that the Western Balkans has to offer so you'll notice that the majority of the events take place there rather than Western Europe. We figure most of you will have done Western Europe and frankly, be quite sick of its high prices. We've always liked the Balkans and have had some amazing and also very unusual experiences there. Our selection of events have been chosen a) because they're the best clubs, bars or beach parties or b) because they offer something different. Something out of the ordinary. We want people to finish The Balkan Rally in August remembering it. And from my experience, its the weird shit you get up to when travelling that stays with you. enjoy!
