Elrow Town London 2019
The most weird, wonderful and magical show in underground music that is Elrow returned to the party capital of England for its 3rd edition of Elrow Town London, and they did not disappoint. Scaling down from 2 days to just the 1 and a even with a slight change in venue from last year, moving to the north of London from the east, the festival was sold out as they upped the ante on things and the vibe inside was incredible. Deep in the middle of August, the weather was on side as a host of artists played across 10 different stages - some more easily found than others, which only added to the beauty of the experience which was enjoyed by ravers of all ages legal to rave.
From the start, the punches were pulled with the opening set on the main stage being played by Elrow mainstay Marc Maya followed by an incredible b2b2b by Detlef, Lastmun & Nathan Barato. The open air was often found to be filled by confetti cannons whilst, on the ground amongst all the revellers, over 150 different characters could be found running, interacting with and entertaining the crowds. The big tent named The Enchanted Forest was exactly the same sort of vibe you'd experience in the indoor terrace at the home of Elrow Barcelona - magical. It was dark and gloomy but fluorescent. Inside may have been baking hot, it didn't stop the crowd from stomping non-stop to the likes of Franky Rizardo, De La Swing & Micheal
