808 State (DJ Set) + The Grid (DJ Set) – Open Air Show

Two acid house rave pioneers headline the Fox's festival-style garden stage. More acts throughout the day, TBA. The story of 808 State defines an era of electronic dance music and sets a blueprint of possibilities for future generations. As the NME observed “808 State revolutionised a whole genre of music in the late-80s, inspiring Underworld, Orbital and the Chemical Brothers in the process.” The Grid is a British electronic music duo formed in London in 1988 by Dave Ball, best known from Soft Cell, and producer Richard Norris. They met while working on the acid-house project “Jack the Tab,” and quickly discovered a shared interest in pushing electronic music beyond traditional pop structures.
