Melt! Festival will be taking place for the 12th time in 2009, with more than 80 live acts and DJs, 6 stages 20,000 visitors and a breathtaking ambience among the hulking metal frames of open-pit mining machines.
For those of you who may not know, Melt! is a unique music festival on the Ferropolis peninsula set against a breathtaking backdrop of five huge hulking coal mining diggers that tower into the sky. Melt! effortlessly mixes guitars, beatboxes and vinyl grooves so perfectly; indie boys dance with raver girls while hip hop heads wave their glowsticks. And with such a great location and massive line up, Melt! is one of the ‘must do’ festivals of the summer.
