 The path to the largest concert arenas in London might start just with a page in a popular social network. Enter Shikari have proved the fact by their own example. The British quartet's Happy Hardcore broke out of the Internet outspreading to the clubs and in some time moving to the major music festivals and world stages.The band's hardcore involving elements of punk rock, drum and bass, motifs of dub step and metal, and many other incredible musical cocktails performed by Enter Shikari delight audiences all around the world. The band released their latest album A Flash Flood of Colour on 16 January 2012, and played three album release shows. The first was for HMV in London at the Borderline. People who had pre-ordered the album via HMV were automatically entered into a prize draw to gain access to the release show as no tickets were sold. The second show was in Kingston upon Thames, at the Hippodrome. This was for Banquet Records and tickets were sold with special offers available if the ticket was bought with an album. The final show was played in Leeds, West Yorkshire at The Cockpit, and tickets were only available via indie record stores Jumbo and Crash Record. At the end of the first week of the album being released, the album reached number four in the U.K. charts. Enter Shikari began "A Flash Flood Of Colour Tour" in February by heading out to Tokyo, Japan. After amazing concerts in America, South Africa, New Zealand guys have visites Ukraine and Russia for a short run. In 2015 Enter Shikari are touring with their new album The Mindsweep which was released in the beginning of the year. The fourth studio long-player from the hard-hitting, shape-shifting English post-rockers with a penchant for dabbling in dubstep, trance, and drum and bass, The Mindsweep finds the Hertfordshire foursome working once again with producer Dan Weller, who helmed 2012's A Flash Flood of Colour. The Hopeless Records-issued 12-track collection was preceded by the singles "The Last Garrison" and "Anaesthesist", as well as an iTunes-only bonus track, "Slipshod". More info

20:00 | Goran Bregovic and The Wedding and Funeral Band (Serbia) |

 With a lively ensemble that includes a 4-piece classical string orchestra, a 6-man choir, and two Bulgarian female vocalists, Goran Bregovic & his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra are perhaps the largest, most diverse and most irresistible world music group to hit the world's stage. A household name in his native Balkans for more than three decades as a film composer and rock musician, Bregovic has been broadening his appeal around the world with his ecstatic, eclectic and charismatic style of gypsy dance music. The Spanish paper El Pais described the group as "one of the most beautiful symphonies of Old World Europe... [Bregovic] creates the most breath-taking music on this continent - intense, vigorous, colorful, passionate, exotic, fascinating." Goran Bregovic's album of 2012 Champagne for Gypsies is in reaction to the extreme pressure that Gypsies (Roma) have been experiencing lately across Europe (expelled from France and Italy, houses burned in Hungary, beaten in Serbia). This album is meant to remind us of our favorite gypsy musicians, who left their mark on popular culture around the world. The following artists have kindly accepted to perform on this recording along with Bregovic's Wedding and Funeral Orchestra: from the generation of The Gipsy Kings from France and Stephan Eicher from Switzerland, to the new generation of artists such as Eugene Hutz (of Gogol Bordello) from Ukraine, USA and Brasil, Florin Salam from Romania and the amazing new talent Selina O'Leary from Ireland. Goran Bregovic & his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra was in YotaSpace Club in past year with their "In Champagne for Gypsies" program in support of the self-titled album which has inspired composers across the centuries. An upcoming Moscow concert will be a real crazy Balkan party! Read more
