This year the legendary Earthdance festival, now known as Earthfest, celebrates its 13 years of history with 5 stages and 70 music performances including 30 hours of non-stop music as well as visual and stage art presentations.

Among the  international artists of electronic tendency appear AMD, Dickster and Aphid Moon of the avant-garde label Nano Records, and the legendary DJ Dick Trevor. Techno, House and Minimal will be presented by Los Updates (ex Prisionero Jorge González & Loreto Otero, Spain/Chile, Cadenza Records), Pablo Cahn (Berlín/Bogotá, placas Cadenza, 8Bit, Leftroom), Teniente Castillo (Madrid, clubs Wonky & Oasis) and Toomy Disco (Buenos Aires, So Sound Recordings), and many more.

It's become a tradition already that the event will count also with tents, such as Circus-Theater-Culture, Extrem Zone (extreme sports), Market Village (stores and stands) and Rainbow Garden (for children), hoping to reach out to about 10,000 spectators. Location this year will be the Los Valles Park, situated at km 16 on Route 68 to Viña del Mar, as the festival does not count with its location in Picarquín anymore. The good organization of this great festival won't be affected by this, as the new location counts with 2 semi-Olympic swimming-pools, large green areas, a camping/pic-nic zone, restaurants, asphalt parking lots, playgrounds for children, changing rooms, bathrooms and showers.

The festival will provide camp sites for up to 1,500 tents. Sites will be distributed on a first-come/first-serve basis after the doors will open on Saturday, 10th December at 10am. Every tent will get a pass which needs to be shown when asked for. No more tents will be allowed once 1,500 spots are gone or after 10pm.

Definitely a festival not to miss of spring 2011. In case you're short on money, don't worry! CiuSantiago GIVES AWAY ENTRANCES FOR THE TWO DAYS OF THE FESTIVAL! To participate you only need to sign-up to our newsletter and leave a comment on the article saying "I want to go to Earthfest"*
