April showers us with long weekends for an extra special party month

Our friends Eastern Electrics kick the month off on April 1st, aka April Fool's Day, with a launch party including Deborah De Luca, Wehbba, Joyce Muniz and B.K.R. providing a taster of what to expect from the festival this summer.

Sam Divine's D-Vine Sounds continues its residency on Friday 7th with UK garage legend Grant Nelson joined by Parris & Lloyd, Jess Bays, CASSIMM and Casey Spillman dishing out the vocals and basslines. On Saturday 8th Familia also return to their familiar spot, Napoli's Sasha Carassi joined by UK techno legend The Advent, Paride Saraceni and many more.

An Easter Thursday Special on the 13th start the extra long weekend with DJ-turned-actor-turned-DJ/actor Idris Elba showing off his enviably versatile range alongside Low Steppa and Tommy Vercetti. Egg Presents Lost Frequencies on the 14th to make it a very Good Friday and Ibiza's Unusual Suspects are back on Saturday 15th with Oliver Huntemann, Thomas Melchior, Maayan Nidam, Valentino Kanzyani and plenty of other underground stars in tow. Promised Land round off the non-stop festivities on Sunday 16th, teaming up with Funkin You for a packed line-up, including The Shapeshifters, DJ Spen, Terry Farley and Max Chapman, delivering every shade of house from across the years.

It's an in-house double-header the following weekend: Egg Presents Format:B on Friday 21st for a set of their trademark MotorFunk alongside Miguel Bastida, Mirco Caruso, then Egg Presents: Stephan Hinz on Saturday 22nd, the Berlin Second State star joined by Mikael Jonasson and Simo Lorenz.
