Lost Vagueness to Showcase First British Asian Music at Glastonbury

British Asian music will be represented at Glastonbury Festival for the first time this year, in an all-nighter blasting out of the Dome – an Eastern-styled live performance tent located in the Lost Vagueness area. Midnight ‘til 7am on Sat 26 June sees ‘The Br-Asian Experience’; bringing the best new Asian artists presented by Br-Asian, founder of the Asian Music Awards (equivalent of the MOBOs).

Headline performances are from Radio 1's Bobby & Nihal, BBC 1xtra DJ's Punjabi Hit Squad, Raghav, Rishi Rich project feat Jay Sean & Juggy D, Zeus, Metz & Trix, Sonik Gurus, Shiva Soundsystem, Kismet, Sona Family, Dhol Academy, Urban X Street DJs, and special guests.

The Dome is a collaboration between Continental Drifts and Gaiaspace, and is supported by Arts Council funding. An 18 metre space-age silver ‘temple’ amidst the Lost Vagueness field’s glamorous blend of sub-cultural madness, it features surround video visuals from Pentavision, tasty Eastern bites, and a chilled out Sheesha bar.

Chris Tofu of Continental Drifts comments: “This year, the Lost Vagueness field is diversifying its already progressive and quirky blend of entertainment by presenting the biggest talents in Eastern music. The Br-Asian all-nighter is one of the most definitive and significant events at Glastonbury 2004, taking Asian youth culture to a wider audience.”
