Hello everyone,

We’re very happy to present you the confirmed final lineup for the DENOVALI SWINGFEST 2012 edition – our experimental music festival in Essen, Germany.


The festival will happen on 3 days – October 5th, October 6th and October 7th. We’ve again rented the nice venue called WESTSTADTHALLE ESSEN. Those who didn’t visit the 2011 edition can find pics of it on our Swingfest homepage.

This year we in total will present 21 artists from 10 different countries. Their sets as always will be as long as a real club show (around an hour).

The TICKETS are from now on available for purchasing via the the Swingfest homepage (www.denovali.com/swingfest) and from next week on via the www.ticketmaster.de and other ticket shops – the pricing looks like this:

- festival ticket (all 3 days) pre-sale: 80euro
- single day ticket pre-sale: 30 euro

You can find all further information (routing, hotels etc.) on the homepage. We as always hope you enjoy the new lineup as much as we do.

Thanks a lot!
Denovali

    So, when can I order my ticket for next year ;-)? The festival was almost perfect. I was also a little annoyed by people constantly going in and out the hall during the sets and not keeping the doors from snapping shut and also the food selection could have been a little better / more varied (not a big fan of vegan food) but those are only minor complaints. The rest was perfect and leaves very little room for improvement, thank you! :)

    Thanks a lot to everyone who joined this year's DENOVALI SWINGFEST. It was as always a blast! Thanks to all the fantastic artists performing on the 3 days. Thanks to the great, patient and calm audience. Thanks to the perfect WeststadtHallen Crew. Thanks to all of our friends who helped us with the organisation, special thanks to our friend Christoph from 79 sound for his excellent work. We hope you've enjoyed it as much as we did. See you next year.

    Thanks for the feedback and the nice words. Regarding the food: Can sausages were done by the catering service of the venue - out of our influence. Due to the kitchen circumstances in the venue we were not able to offer more than just smaller meals like couscous, soups and waffles. We've this year just had a small cooker. As far as I know the situation maybe will change next year. We'll see. Thanks again.

    Hats off to Denovali. Sound was nearly perfect, the whole festival well organized, a fantastic line-up (almost every band was bringing something new artistically). This was my second time and it's just getting better. I just hope there will be more food options in the next year. I don't mean anything fancy or elaborated, but that cr%$ couscous and can sausage are far from what is expected of such a tremendous festival. I have no doubt Denovali is already reference in terms of good music, that is just a detail. Oh, and people shouldn't be allowed to enter in the concert room once it's started. Those doors can kill a good concert! But that's just me. See you next year. ps: and fuck off to those saying it was expensive. I remember paying something like 24eu to see Murcof alone. He was awesome BTW.

    Quality music only, all acts (including my least preferred) were of high standard. The sound and the venue were sublime, I was overwhelmed by the fantastic soundscapes (especially from 'N') and very much enjoyed the intimate acts in between. Hidden Orchestra exceeded my expectations, I met nice people, the organisation was perfect, as well as the coffee. Wowie, this was my best and most charming festival since years!!!

    A note regarding some questions we've received in the past days: You can preorder your ticket till mid next week via www.denovali.com/swingfest (one day: 30 euros|festival: 80 euros) - there also will be tickets for a slightly higher price available at the box office. All artists will play a FULL SET of 50 to 60 minutes. Thanks a lot.

    The Nest won't play Swingfest this year. Newly on board is the wonderful GREG HAINES. He's also a new member of the denovali records family.
