Last year Continental Drifts assisted We Are FSTVL in securing an event site and license for the 14,999 capacity dance music event running from 11am-2:30am on the 25th May 2013. We then continued to work with the event in an advisory role to ensure that the event was delivered safely and successfully.

Needless to say that hard work paid off as We Are FSTVL beat off stiff competition from several leading festivals to scoop the coveted ‘BEST NEW FESTIVAL’ award at the 2013 UK Festival Awards on the 2nd December. Entering into its 10th year, the awards were decided by music industry experts and huge numbers of online votes from over 500,000 supporters across the UK.

We Are FSTVL was a total sell-out, the festival received critical as well as commercial acclaim with The Independent calling it ‘a slickly planned and well-programmed electronic event’. DJ Mag described it as having ‘a line up befitting any serious world-beating house and techno event’ while The Guardian wrote “Impressively everyone who’s made, or is likely to make, a 2013 underground dance anthem is here”.
