Here is an official statement from to Tom Findlay (Groove Armada).....
David Vincent knows how to throw a good party. I worked that out the night me and andy first played sankey's two years ago. Since then we've done 2 amazing warehouse parties under the 'tribal banner' and quite a few sweaty
night down at the club so when the opportunity arose to do this festival together, and in aid of a desparately important casue, I had to do it.
Its the way big news organisations work, but in the aftermath of the tsunami disaster, the suffering of the people of Darfur in Sudan has all but been forgotten. The humanitarian crisis facing them is every bit as real, and
depressing at that which faced ethiopia 20 years ago......and out of that came live aid. We have to do something, and in doing this amazing TRIBAL
event we are raising (hopefully) tons of money and just as important raising the profile of the suffering in Sudan........
This is Groove Armada's only live show of the summer. We'll be writing a new album round this time so we won't be touring......but the band and crew are doing this for love....and thats brilliant of them. Expect all the hits......and maybe a new track or 2. Across the festival the line up we have got together is pure quality and I cannot thank all of the artists involved enough for giving up their time for nisch.
Please buy these tickets quickly and bring your friends and your family. As the momentum gathers we'll be announcing more blockbusting artists. This is going to be brilliant and you need to able to tell people that you were
there - TRIBAL gathering 'playing alive' July 16th 2005.
Thanks,
Tom
