BLOC 2009 : Aphex Twin, FSOL, et al. March 13, 2009

Back for a third glorious year, the BLOC electronic music festival is a byword for credibility in the UK festival scene.Neatly sidestepping the calamities of the English weather, BLOC is held indoors on a holiday resort on the west coast. Everyone attending gets their own apartment for the weekend included in the ticket price, which makes for a whole village of after-parties once the main venues close down.

Previous headliners include Autechre, Surgeon, Luke Slater, Robert Hood, Karl Bartos, A Guy Called Gerald and Amon Tobin.
