Loop Brighton Festival
Loop the Loop
Now heading into its third year Loop returns as a two day event, at Victoria Gardens in central Brighton, in 2009. Bigger than ever the music and digital art festival is spread across specially created performance areas in the heart of Brighton.
Freshly added to the line-up is Fever Ray, a genuinely original, freaky-deaky weirdo rockstar. This unpredictable lady of the dance will join the viking invasion at Loop alongside múm (Iceland), The Field (Sweden), Datarock (Norway), Casiokids (Norway) and Emiliana Torinni (Iceland). Apparently it is the long winter nights that makes them all a bit loopy, or in the case of Iceland the issue is exacerbated by seeing your economy shrivel like a scrotal sack dipped in an icy fjord. I imagine the Icelandic performers will be posting their sterling home and living off dried cod. Maybe. Loop festival is not just about macroeconomic issues and bailing out failed banking systems. It is about art and performance.
Something that sets Loop apart from its muddy-field contemporaries is the location. This festival is in a city, not some namby-pamby farm; so after the site closes down in the day, the event will once again morph into LoopLate which has DJs and live performances at various venues across Brighton until the early hours.
