EM på Kontiki 7-29 juni (www.kontiki.nu)





May 26 2008 11:38 AM

På lördag fyller Kontiki 1 år



Jopp... 1 år har gått sedan vi öppnade upp i våra nya lokaler, ett stenkast från Slottsskogen.
Det har vart ett minst sagt händelserikt år med över 200 musikarrangemang, klubbar och konserter.



Massa nya vänner har vi fått på denna resa och några av dem kommer förgylla denna 1 års-fest ytterligare.



En galen mix av dj's kommer trängas bakom skivspelarna denna kväll. Nega Flô, Wipe Out, Taramasalata, Radio London, Queen ó Klubs & Baby Scratch har alla laddat skivväskorna fulla för att spela sina classics denna kväll.



Märklig blandning kan man tycka men ohhh så bra. För er som inte är så insatta i våra klubbar kan vi utlova ett gränsöverskridande utbud av bl.a brasiliansk fest, 50's, 60's, surf, indiepop, garage, rock'n'roll, country, rockabilly, soul, funk & hip hop.



Vi vill också passa på att tacka alla som har besökt oss under året och som gillar vad vi tillför Göteborgs uteliv.
Ni är världens bästa gäster alla gånger. Det är tack vare er som vi orkar gå upp varje morgon.



Vi ses den 31 maj kl.17 på uteserveringen. Det här vill du inte missa. Nu åker vi...

After Park från kl.17. Entré 40 kr.
