World-renowned Ibiza dance music Dons, The Zoo Project, once again throw everything they’ve got into delivering Europe’s premier boutique dance music event for a third successive year in 2014, bringing the sunshine, music and hierbas with them as they return to the enchanted mayhem of Donington Park Forest. Another three days of hedonistic madness amongst the trees await - Zoo Style!

 

With a decade of throwing open-air parties in Ibiza under their belt, The Zoo Project Festival 2014 will be their most ambitious blow-out to date. It’s fitting then, that they’ve booked two of the world’s most successful dance music artists: the multi-million selling, arena-touring act, Groove Armada and influential leader and perpetual pioneer of the scene, Steve Lawler, to perform at this year’s event.

 

Beaming media reviews and punter feedback from last year’s event coincided with them being shortlisted for 4 gongs at the 2013 UK Festival Awards. The unique forest atmosphere was a massive hit, so this year they will delve even deeper, and build the majority of the festival within the actual Woodland area. It could be days before you find your way out! Deeper into the forest – deeper into the music...

 

Other key line up additions include: The nation’s favourite Brew-loving maestro Mr Scruff, James Zabiela with his technical mastery and live remixing skills, prolific dubstep boss Mala – a favourite of John Peel, Frenchman and Daft Punk collaborator DJ Falcon, DJ /producer Phaeleh - praised amongst critics and fellow producers for his intricate cinematic electro. Ben UFO will slice between eras, origins and mixing styles with silky ease and those craving that explosive drum’n’bass fix can delight in the glow of original nuttah, Shy FX. Discerning dance music heads can savour the sounds of industry stalwarts A Guy Called Gerald, Nightmares On Wax and Craig Richards. Special Request Paul Woolford’s latest project, will also be one of the most highly anticipated gigs the festival has seen.
