Totally one-of-a-kind in the capital of France’s modern scene, convenient and starving for amazing nights, DREAM NATION FESTIVAL confirms once again this year its status of being a major electronic playground for the youth and music-hungry dancers of all origins, gathering masses and expecting this year 18 500 party-goers!
For six years, the Festival has been cultivating its uniqueness and difference, inviting iconic artists, rarely coming to France, in an industrial oasis transformed to match the best celebration standards.
Its specificity: a congregation of all the electronic communities, Techno / Electro, Hardstyle / Hardcore, Dubstep / Drum’n’Bass, Trance / Progressive for the time of a very special Week-end, night and day, all going along a daydreaming RAVE.
Such high gatherings of electronic music take rarely place in a lifetime, inviting their attendants to an extraordinary journey from one musical universe to another, beyond borders and limits, to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, in Italy or reaching as far as Israël, Canada or the United States of America!
Dream Nation is one among those: from Friday 20 till’ Sunday 22 september, the mythical Docks de Paris and the very mysterious Gare des Mines will witness the rise of 8 stages for a panel of more than 60 artists from all origins, carefully selected by a passionate team, establishing (for a night) Paris as the world’s capital city of electronic music.
With this 6th edition, Dream Nation Festival has reached a turning point, an improved program (even more filled and jaw-dropping), new partnerships, represented for instance by the libertarian crew Possession, and obviously a greater crowd, 18 500 festival-goers, at the Docks de Paris (17 000 people last year), a success mainly due to the care and the extreme caution given to the crowd and the precisely targeted and thrilling Lineup.
Once again this year, major artists (including some exclusive french appearance) are invited on the main-event four stages.
DUBSTEP / DRUM’N’BASS: Downlink (king of RoboStep), 12th Planet (close collaborator of Skrillex), Black Sun Empire (powerful and cutting-edge trio), Dubloadz (Savage Wonk precursos), Delta Heavy (with a luminous and grade A show), Figure (Drumstep infamous), Spag Heddy, Megalodon, PhaseOne.
TRANCE / PROGRESSIVE: Infected Mushroom (5 times in the Dj Mag’s Top 100), Major7 (pillar of the sparkling Israel scene), BLiSS, Morten Granau, Ritmo (emotional sound-designer), Mad Maxx.
HARDSTYLE / HARDCORE: Radical Redemption (undisputable king of the genre), Partyraiser (acclamed prince of the Dutch scene), Neophyte, BillX (one of the best Hardtek / Frenchcore representative), N-Vitral, Andy The Core, Lady Dammage, Rebelion, Malice, Tieum, Rob Gee.
TECHNO: Luke Slater aka Planetary Assault Systems (British Techno legend), Johannes Heil, Shifted, Keith Carnal (capable to embark on a Journey both mentally and physically), Zadig, etc.
Moreover the outstanding reunion of world-class legends and heroes, this will be a truly immersive experience: The Docks de Paris are for the occasion transformed into oniric satellites, under an entire scenography and digital installations, virtual projections, video mapping, stage performers (jugglers, stunt-artists, dancers…). On Friday, the Opening will be directed by the wise and libertarian crew Possession in the Docks de Paris with a strinking line-up, entirely Techno in all its forms. On Sunday, the Closing will be the afterparty right after the main event, creating soundwaves and leading the party towards the Gare des Mines, neighboring the Docks, with a myriad of crews animating the regional landscape and three stages techno/acid, trance and bass music as final hours of the Week-end.
DREAM NATION is the promise, as legacy of all editions, that the 2019-2020 season will starts with a bang, being united for one Week-end: ONE DREAM – ONE NATION, living and partying together as one, a human communion, traversing electronic spectrums, led by the great musical gurus and talented newcomers who are destined to become tomorrows legends!
Everyone deserve to experience a true DREAM NATION, beyond DREAMS and beyond NATIONS for in reality, in a decorated and elegant setup, witness the most ambitious electronic panorama in modern music, accessible both to the rave veterans and the new members of our family!
