Time Out says

Fri Mar 9 2012

Riva Starr, Kissy Sell Out (Fri); David Guetta, Skrillex, Skream, Annie Mac, Major Lazer, Erol Alkan, Sebastian Ingrosso, Example, Steve Angello, Benga, Andy C, Maya Jane Coles (Sat); Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Richie Hawtin, Tiësto, A-Trak, Fake Blood, Sub Focus (live), James Zabiela, Jacques Lu Cont, Zane Lowe (Sun). Definitely the most prolific and voluminous dance music festival in the UK, this three-day event sees trance-flecked stadium DJs like Guetta, Avicii and Ingrosso mix it up with cooler kids like Diplo and Switch's dancehall extravaganza Major Lazer and Erol Alkan's nosebleed techno. Dubstep also gets a hefty look in, with original don Skream and LA urchin Skrillex both two huge draws, not forgetting the all-conquering mite of electro-tech hero Deadmau5. With so much to bop to, making it through 'til last thing Sunday will give you instant 'hardcore caner' status for eternity.
