Red Bull announces flotilla party
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 23 May 2018
Our resident club tipper, Vigsy, has at fairly regular intervals over the last fifteen years or so attempted to float the idea of a CMU boat party. We’ve never done it, and now just sending one boat out on the water with a few DJs on it seems pretty boring. Because Red Bull has spoiled boat parties for everyone by putting together an event featuring six boats, each one captained by some of the UK’s finest underground electronic artists.
The Red Bull Music Odyssey will set sail down the Thames on 30 Jun, starting from Tower Bridge near the fizzy drink brand’s own Red Bull Studios. The boats will be captained – and more importantly curated – by Denis Sulta, Steel Banglez, Julie Adenuga, Henry Wu & Moses Boyd, Kyrist and Jubilee.
Acts joining them to splash out some tunes will include Goldie, Larry Heard, Jocelyn Brown, Mostack, Ms Banks, DJ Semtex, AJ Tracey, Slimzee, Flohio, Peven Everett, Bugz In the Attic and more.
Tickets go on sale this Friday for £25. For an extra tenner you can get into an afterparty on dry land. More details here.
