  • Sven Vath is set to host his first Cocoon In The Park event in Leeds this summer. Taking place in the grassy green expanse of Temple Newsam (which used to hold the Leeds Festival before its move to Bramham Park) on June 27th, the all-day event will see three magnates of the house and techno scene come together for eleven hours of partying - Cocoon style. Of course, this means that the dancers, lighting and Funktion-One soundsystem will be present, but what of the acts themselves? Of course, ringmaster Sven will take to the stage for what will no doubt be techno pantomime of the highest order, but his support acts should garner a similar level of adulation, if not more. Luciano will bring his slinky latin-tinged minimal house to the city for the first time since his performance at The Warehouse in 2006, whilst Poker Flat head honcho Steve Bug will also be present to shower the crowd with some of his Bugnology. Cocoon In The Park tickets are now available to purchase directly through RA.
