Review: Bloc Festival 2011
by Juno Plus on 28.03.2011 at 09:42am
Despite its many charms, Minehead’s Butlins resort in mid March is patently not Barcelona.Yet it’s here, out of season by the Bristol channel, that a musical movement is brewing to rival that of Sónar as one of the world’s premiere events catering for discerning electronic music.
Bloc, now in its fifth year, has grown exponentially since its launch and the line-up assembled for the 2011 showcase was, on paper, its strongest yet. In many ways it’s a canny move to book the event so early in the year, as it allows organisers to operate unencumbered by the goings on of the UK/European summer festivals that duke it out from June to August. It also offers actual beds to revellers, and those of us of a certain vintage welcome the chance to rest our weary heads somewhere comfy, rather than climb into a freezing tent and sleep for exactly five minutes before waking up to scorching sunshine/pissing rain (delete where applicable) and a parched mouth.
More names added to Bloc lineup

Ellen Allien, Joy Orbison and DJ Rush are among the second wave of names to be announced for next year’s Bloc festival, to be held March 12-14 at the Butlins Resort in Minehead.
The line-up is really starting to take shape, with Subloaded, FWD/Rinse FM, Overkill and Braindrop all set to curate tents.
They join the likes of US trio Salt-N-Pepa, who will perform their first live show in 15, Grandmaster Flash, Derrick May and Autechre.
