Enigmatic Australians The Cat Empire have a reputation for buoyant live shows and are always a big draw when they visit the UK. Their mash up of Cuban salsa, ska, reggae and pop becomes something joyous and truly original whenever they take to the stage. Angus and Julia Stone are also Australians; a brother/sister duo whose heartfelt and textural folk/blues is beginning to make big waves in Europe. Their recent self-titled album co-produced with the legendary Rick Rubin is the highest-charting by the duo to date, reaching the top 10 in several countries including France, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand. Public Service Broadcasting are more familiar to UK festival goers.  They made quite an impact on their debut, combining a wonderful mix of electronics, guitars with vintage public service information samples. Their brand new follow-up album, The Race for Space, takes as its theme the exciting late ‘60’s American-Soviet exploration contest, mingling evocative archive footage with harmonizing electronic soundscapes.

Announcing  Sanctuary 2015…..
 
Is your body a temple or a playground?
Whilst all corners of the Garden worship at the altar of multisensory fun and games, Sanctuary is solely dedicated to restoring gardeners that have need of that holistic “Bloody Mary” for both their body and soul.  In fact, the four-day idyll is incomplete without time spent at this cat-napping nursery of calm. Where else can you indulge & spoil yourself this much and feel better for it? Nestled on the banks of the lake, Sanctuary is Secret Garden Party’s indulgent playground of pleasures, the place to soothe, revive and rejuvenate the body with a massage or a hot tub, imbibe fortifying juices, superfoods (or a full English) and, of course, the best Bloody Mary’s on site.
 
An additional area is dedicated to wellbeing therapies, where Thai, Ayurvedic or holistic massage is practised by some of the leading therapists on the circuit. There are group activities for you and your fellow playmates with beginner yoga sessions or Acro Yoga, yoga rave, 5 rhythms dance, fire walking and an assortment of meditation activities including social meditation and dance meditation.
 
Sanctuary is a beautiful respite from the playtime crowds and an opportunity to boost, reward and indulge.
