The
Secret Garden is very pleased to announce
Regina Spektor as a
headlining artist this year with an exclusive UK festival appearance.
It is a very welcome return for Regina, who first played the Garden
back in 2005 when she was just starting out. Now lauded
as one of the most talented songwriters of her generation there is
precious little that the Russian born songstress hasn’t achieved.
Her music has graced television and film around the world and won her
a multitude of fervent admirers including Barack and Michelle
Obama for whom she performed at The White House in 2010.
Regina
says:
"I'm
so excited to return this summer and play The Secret Garden Party!
Whenever I'm gone for a while I really start to miss the UK!
It's
amazing to get to play this festival again. It is full of people who
are really passionate about music. Thanks for having me!"
Also
confirmed are Swedish
indie-rockers the Shout Out Louds. Having just released their fourth
album ‘Optica’ to much critical acclaim the Stockholm- based
quintet are famed for their mesmerising live shows and multi-layered
harmony. Spanning ten years their musical CV includes a globetrotting
tour with The Strokes and a single release on a record made entirely
of ice - you really can’t get cooler than that…
Watch
out for American folk-starlet Lissie who has collaborated with the
likes of Band Of Horses, Robbie Williams and Snow Patrol;
synth-toting troubadour Youth Lagoon; UK buzz band Temples and Willy
Mason to name a few.

ACTION
CAMPS, THEATRE, PARTICIPATION
This
summer’s theme
‘superstition’
brings all kinds of strange and bizarre action camps into the Garden,
each one lovingly
programmed by fellow gardeners and promising to captivate, charm,
hypnotise, enchant and enthrall you. Here are just a few of the many,
many camps you’ll find at the party this summer…
Open
up the doors to discover what may be lurking behind. Located in a
land of beasts Monsters
Ink will
provide hours of daytime entertainment for Gardeners. Draw out your
inner monsters and rid the Garden of your beasts.
But
if the monsters unnerve you why not channel your creativity at The
Bohemian Artists’
Studio
-
the aficionados of festival life drawing, return once more to Secret
Garden Party. Strike a pose and be forever immortalised on canvas by
our virtuoso artistes at an evenings’ entertainment worthy of the
most refined and discerning of reprobates.
Tongue
of toad and eye of cod; be sure to visit the Witches
of Odd.
Enter the witches’ lair into a world of magic, spell chanting,
potion mixing, join in on a traditional binding spell and make a wish
for your inner most desires to come true or even cast a spell to
determine the fate of other gardeners.
Perhaps
you might stumble across the unlucky No.13
Club, a very
superstitious 80’s neon micro disco, perfect for a moment of
superstitious solitude. Release all inhibitions and dance your heart
out.
After
years of burying all you Gardeners, Funeral Camp makes an epic return
as the Cult
of
the
Sturdy Virgins.
Their ritualistic death methods have enhanced their own supernatural
powers through the manipulation of dark energies. WHATEVER your
gripe... they have the answer. Visit their Supernatural
Hospital Camp,
they’ve assured us their occult practises and ceremonies have been
tried and tested. Enhance your spiritual deficits resulting in sense
of alleviation.
ARTFUL
BADGERS
Emerging
from the mists of the deep dark Badger Woods the Artful
Badgers underground
campaign for world domination begins in earnest this year, as they
march out roaring, to take on the new
beautifully landscaped Amphitheatre.
Here all manners of wild and unprecedented badger antics will pepper
a program of their most diverse live music line-ups to date. Occult
ceremonies, animal dance, pagan circus, bizarre performance art and
wild fire shows, join their in-house team of immersive theatrics
and ecstatic dancers to bring the woods alive with the shadows of
joyful woodland creatures.
The
Feral
Fever DJ Stage
will boast some of the most spectacular laser shows ever seen under a
leafy canopy, with wild beats from an extraordinary line up of
mystery
superstar DJs.
Heady Balearic rhythms, deep dance floor journeys and old school
uplifting classics will be brought to life by a crystal clear system,
our thumping dance crew and the flying wonders of
aerialists suspended from our old man oak tree. Journeying on
sound doesn't get better placed than this.
Badger
Bingo returns to
the homely bar space and the warm twangs of the northern bingo caller
will make you at home in an appropriate realm of wrongness. And the
lonely hearts need not go home empty handed amongst all the ecstatic
joy, as Badger
Dating returns to
spread the Badger Love and help you break through any blocks to your
eternal happiness with another.
The
badger continues to help you break through on all levels, presenting
mystical afternoons of their trademark WILD workshops: including
Shamanic
Journeying, 5 Rhythms Ecstatic Dance, Mask Making and Dance your
Naked Truth: a
small graze on the surface of our deeper shamanic selves - where
better to explore that than in the warm womb of the woods.
All
in all, the badgers intend not only for you to never leave the
underworld of the badgers once you have entered, but that when you
eventually do, you will be so thoroughly grounded, feralised,
expressed, refreshed and enthralled that there will be no other way
to put it than to say, "I
got seriously badgered this weekend!'.
Bring it on.
FEAST
OF FOOLS
Roll
up! Roll up! Roll up! Stroll
around our fayreground imaginarium where Alkhemysts ply their trade &
tricksters work their craft, where tattooed ladies rub shoulders with
tarot readers & circus lads & bearded ladies vie for your
attention. Come m’dearios & taste our wares… feast your eyes
on our Hoochie Coochie girls,
wet your whistles at the
Honeymoon Tavern & be merry with our Tarts & Tramps. The
legendary
Feast
of Fools has
unleashed a delicious taster line-up for this summer.
The
Burning
Man Project has
shown us the way when it comes to installation art in the Garden;
free from the gallery and as interactive as possible. Once again, the
Secret Arts Foundation
has embraced this concept whole-heartedly and for the party this
summer have pledged to fund and support art which is interactive in
its approach, participatory in its social stance and emotive in its
realisation.
This
summer the Garden will be alive with interactive art created by some
of the finest contemporary artists from across the Globe. There will
be plenty of unique pieces commissioned especially for the party for
Gardeners to discover, climb over, crawl under and dance around.
In
previous years Secret Arts has championed projects such as the
towering
robots made from
scrap; street
art from Europe;
shrines
from San
Fransico; Cartoon
Confessionals
from Tony
Husband; giant
floating islands
that defied the laws of physics; tunnelled
labyrinths;
flocked trees and
of course the infamous lake stage installations…. including a
pirate ship; a blimp; a dragonfly; figure heads of the ages
and many more…
Work
is already in full swing for this summer’s art installations. More
information on this summer’s incredible artists and collectives
coming soon.
This
video, filmed for Secret Arts during the weeks in the run up to last
summer’s party, gives us a sneak peak into just a fraction of the
hard work and love which went into last summer’s art installations.

Arts video:
FAMILY
GARDENERS
There
are lots of things for young Gardeners to see and do at the party
too. There are family friendly action camps, theatre, art works and
fairground rides dotted throughout the garden, as well as a dedicated
kids camp which provides a fun, creative haven for young Gardeners.
Some of our favourite workshops taking place in Kids Camp this summer
include Aunty Dots magic science experiments & weather casting,
Bling Your Thing craft space, supernatural Stick Men making, Mr Wolf
Shadow Puppets and pizza making. There will also be plenty of
theatre from the likes of the Flying Seagulls.
