Greetings Cosmonauts!
Welcome to Cosmo Festival 2012 — a unique celebration of psychedelic music, art and culture that extends for 4 days and 3 nights over the June bank holiday weekend. Synchronised with a full moon lunar eclipse and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the gathering provides an opportunity to embrace an alternative existence with a couple of thousand like-minded human beings in the beautiful Somerset countryside.
Cosmo 2010 video:
►❖ MUSIC
❖ 3 STAGES ❖ 100+ ARTISTS ❖ UV DECOR ❖ LASERS ❖ 3D VISUALS ❖
Cosmo 2012 features multimedia artists and musicians from across the globe in music styles ranging from psy trance, Goa trance, techno, progressive, psy breaks, chillout/ambient, minimal techno, underground house, breaks, live acoustic and other styles of some of the most rapidly evolving electronic music on the planet.
Music will go for 24 hours from 14:00 on Friday until 12:00 midday on Monday. The only exception is between 18:00 and 20:00 on Sunday 3rd of June in celebration and respect for Her Royal Majesty the Queen and her diamond jubilee celebrations. Church bells will be rung across Taunton and as we’re near a church that’s having a service to celebrate, on Crown land and have been given permission from the Crown to hold Cosmo, we think it’s appropriate. We’ll be celebrating in our own way while the sound systems are off with the Cosmo 2012 Jubilee Team Challenge. Expect games, nonsense and general buffoonery. Bring your water pistols – it’s going get hot and heavy!
The Main Stage is designed for you to enjoy the intelligent depths of psychedelic trance: twilight, forest, full-on, groovy full-on, Goa and progressive. We’ve handpicked a fine selection of live artists and DJs from all over the globe!
