The 3rd edition of the Pantiero Festival in Cannes is to take place in Cannes, France from Aug. 19 til Aug. 21 on the roof terrasse of the
Palais des Festivals.
The event will kick off with a 100% French line up with dub monsters High Tone, electro-afro booty shakers Frederic Galiano & The African Divas and Patchworks' new soul-reggae project The Dynamics.
Things will heat up badly on the second night with hip-hop and garage
being represented for the first time ever at Pantiero featuring Arrested
Development, The Streets and UK new hip-hop gunner TY. The 20th is an electro-clash fuelled affair headlined by 2ManyDJ's original band Soulwax presenting their new album for this exclusive French date. New York favourites LCD Soundsystem will also be there to support their friends from Belgium and, as a starter, the now very rare and legendary Stereolab will deliver their beautiful post-rock lo-fi goods.
Closing night on the 21st is without a doubt the most ecclectic one.
Crazy front man Rob Gallagher (aka 2 Banks of Four and also Galliano
back in the days...) under his Earl Zinger moniker is an amazing show
man who can't be missed. He will be followed by soulful drum'n bass act
London Elektricity tipped as the most exciting 100% D&B live act on the
planet (no shit !). Meanwhile German DJ Ellen Allien will headline the night dropping her selection of plates for all electro headz around !

*Some after show parties are also in the pipeline, with the Elektronik
Palace night on the 21st (D'Julz, Steve Bug, Jennifer, Max). Daniel
Bell (+ v-special guests... nevertba) will also be spinning on the 20th
at Lady Bird (ex Whisky-a-Gogo), and the Sun7 Café will also get its
fingers on the cake with a line up including Catskills Records, Stereo
Deluxe, Santa Crew, David 2Khan, etc... all on 18th & 19th.
For those who can't bare silence, Maema Beach will welcome all
Pantieristas willing to get a tan (and pissed !) while keeping their
ears fuelled by the electro sounds of (kindof) local DJ heroes. Every
afternoon on August 19th, 20th & 21st.
No shit, Pantiero 2004 is gonna be MASSIVE !!!
