Release: October 07, 2005

It's never too early to start planning Spring Break.

Next March, you have something else to look forward to besides bikinis, sand, and Springer.

On March 18th and 19th, the world's premiere music festival is coming to Miami. The Global Gathering Festival, one of the hottest music celebrations of the planet, heads to the US, thanks to a partnership between Angel Music Group, Track Entertainment, and Space Miami. (Note: Track Entertainment is the parent company of Clubplanet.com.)

It's the world's third-ever Global Gathering, following on the heels of the two hugely successful European festivals in England and Ireland. These current shows have been produced by AMG over the past five years, setting attendance records in both countries along the way.

The success of 2005’s existing shows has prompted AMG to look for further territories in which to expand the phenomenal Global Gathering concept, which has sold out every previous show. AMG has also been successfully operating the well-known Ice Nightclub in Las Vegas under their other brand moniker; Godskitchen.

So why should you care?

Because this much is certain: expect world-class DJs, blue-chip bands, thousands of half-naked beautiful people, celebrities galore, and a vibe that will rival any concert on the planet.

Speaking on the partnership, an AMG spokesman mentioned the reasons for the expansion: “After the unbelievable response for our events in the UK and Ireland this year we believed that there were many further cities worldwide that were crying out for a quality music event for upwards of 30,000 people. Following a chance meeting with Andrew Fox and Lee Heiman of Track Entertainment (CEO and President respectively), we decided that Miami was a prime opportunity for the first event and pursued the possibility aggressively. It was Track’s existing large scale show expertise that prompted the agreement to be made.”

Track Entertainment has grown since inception in 1987 to a multi talented event producer and has controlled shows featuring some of the world’s most respected artists including Destiny’s Child, Velvet Revolver, Green Day, and Kanye West.

The partnership is completed by local Promoter and well-respected businessman Louis Puig who has been at the forefront of Miami nightlife promotion for over 30 Years including his ownership of the world-renowned Space Nightclub. His unrivalled knowledge and talent relationships have made him the obvious man to complete the team.

Speaking on signing the agreement Puig said:

"There are many reasons why MTV chose Miami to host the Video Music Awards for 2 years in a row. Miami, music and nightlife go hand in hand and especially in March during the Winter Music Conference. I am extremely pleased that AMG selected Miami to hold this world class event and I am looking forward to being a part of what will be the premiere music festival of the year."

Class act!!!
Cant wait to see their line-up.

[trojanman]

so is this in addition to ultra???

[fcukchris]

whats the line up soo i know if i should book this trip for spring break?!?

[kenl]

Sounds cool, I look forward to seeing the lineup.

[riotgear]

I thought they couldnt use that name in the USA because of previous copyrights on it.

[rsauron]

this should be the more interesting than '04 wmc when Global Gathering went head up with Ultra? let the fun begin I say!!

[tboyo]

Global Gathering and Ultra are 7 days apart, most of the US crowd don't stick around for a full two weekends so they are'nt going to be in direct competition with each other, but you can expect a large contingent from the UK showing up for 10-14 days.

WTF? I just heard that the Global Gathering event set for March in
Miami is going to consist of mainly Heavy Metal and Hip-Hop. I got a
list of some of the bands playing and I am TOTALLY DISAPOINTED! I
thought this was going to be a big dance music event but it looks like
they have gone for the metal rock and hip hop crowd instead. Here are
some of the bigger names I heard were playing for Global Gathering:
Chambers and Cambridge, Rise Against, Coheed and Cambria, Nine Inch
Nails and Tap Root.

I just went to the websites to sample their music and it sounds like
pop metal S*%@! I thought they would at least get an act like
Underworld or Paul van Dyk. OR a top 5 dj, AT LEAST! What a let down :

haha, wtf? that's pretty weird. Maybe they figured out that it's pointless to compete with Ultra. Or maybe Ultra locked all the talent before Global could get in the game. Whatever the case, I believe i'll be skipping that event.

I thought GG was an electronic fest myself but it's not looking like it that's all I'm saying. Whether ya go to GG or UMF doesn't matter unless you're going to GG for EDM.
