**iPhone Launch New TentFinder App**

The wonderfully helpful people at Apple have now launched their new application just in the nick of time for festival season. Now you will be able to find your way back to your tent with ease, no matter how many pairs of beer goggles you may be wearing thanks to the new TentFinder App.

How it works is, one you've pitched your tent, simply stand beside it (or better still in it) and launch TentFinder.  From here you tap the screen and the phone will store the longitude and lattitude of your whereabouts, you give this place a name and the phone will remember it. When you want to get back to your tent, simply open up TentFinder, click on your tent and it will direct you back to it within minutes.

Not only that but you could also use this to remember your way around the site, for instance you can save multiple points so that you will know the quickest way to the bar every time you need a drink or where you said you would meet your friends.

What an ingenious little invention, for more details click here

**The Boombox Hits Moscow**

The awesome Godskitchen Boombox has been causing waves with it's recent appearances at sellout shows across Europe. Two weeks ago the Boombox featured at Godskitchen's event in Moscow, performing on this awe inspiring platform on the evening were Markus Schulz, Sander Van Doorn, Menno De Jong and more. The show was a complete success and the Godskitchen Boombox was as impressive as ever.

Here is some live footage from the event including the specially created introduction that will be used at GlobalGathering for the Boombox's UK debut.

**HTID Touch Down**

HTID - arguably the biggest hardcore promoter in the UK - and Polysexual are joining forces for 16 hours of bliss as part of Global Gathering 2009.  Both massive brands in their own right, together they will blow the roof off of their 5000 capacity tent with artists such as Hixxy, MC Storm, Gammer, MC Whizzkid, Darren Styles + many more.

This will be HTID's first event back in the UK after the annual hardcore summer holiday to Lloret de Mar in Spain for HTID In The Sun - the world's largest hardcore event where over 2500 hardcore ravers from around the world descend on Spain for a week of fun in the sun.  The HTID crew are hoping to bring back a lorry load of Spanish Sunshine to unleash above Long Marston Airfield for Global Gathering to enable everyone to enjoy Global Gathering to the max!

They can't wait to be a part of the Global Gathering family for '09 and hope, with your support, to become a regular fixture at the event. 

Mark Lambert, promoter of HTID said "We are looking forward to providing ravers with the opportunity to rave at the UK's largest outdoor festival, slap bang in the middle of the country.  No other festival comes close to the size and scale of Global Gathering and now, with the addition of HTID, Global Gathering is the only festival you need!"

The weekend just gone saw GlobalGathering headliners The Prodigy and Pendulum take to the Other Stage at the world famous Glastonbury and show the world why they are two of the most devastating live acts in the world right now. True to form the weather was it's usual unhelpful self but once again the Glastonbury faithful battled on through wind, rain and mud to prove that it takes more than a little bit of bad weather to spoil the party.



First up were Pendulum on Saturday night, following on from their blockbusting performance at this year's Download festival, the aussie quintet proved once again that they have now succesfully bridged the gap between live music and electronica by almost bringing the crowd at Glastonbury to their knees with a typically thunderous performance on the Other Stage.

Fellow GlobalGathering headliners The Prodigy have been rocking venues up and down the country as part of their Invaders Must Die tour so their inclusion on this year's Glastonbury line up was no surprise to anyone. Their latest album also entitled Invaders Must Die went double platinum and marked the much anticipated return of the explosive rave act.



On Sunday night The Prodigy's live performance shook the Other Stage to it's very foundations, consisting of a blend of old favourites and future classics, it was plain to see that this is a band that is very much at the top of it's game right now and their arrival on GlobalGathering's main stage come July will be nothing short of awe inspiring.
