The time has come for 20,000-odd ravers to go mental in Swansea. Yep, Escape Into The Park (presented by Godskitchen) takes place this Saturday 16th June at Singleton Park. It runs from midday to midnight, providing 12 solid hours of, as Tracey might gurn, “‘avin’ it”.
There are acts covering chart-dance to drum n’ bass - headliners include Calvin Harris, Fedde Le Grand, Shapeshifters, Lisa Lashes, Goldie and Grooverider. Tickets, in this overcrowded festival season, are still available here for £39. That’s including booking fee, which isn’t too bad for 12 hours of partying, but then one has to add “refreshments” to that figure.

£17 extra will get you a VIP ticket, the benefits of which are not immediately clear - but they do gain you entry to an intimate stand-up performance by Howard Marks, the coherence of which may vary depending on the time he goes onstage. I gather he gives good anecdote though, as you’d expect from an ex-international narcotics smuggler.
I noticed on this page that Dirty Sanchez are slated for a performance. This could be intriguing given that their TV show consisted of Jackass-style stunts, although the Welsh version seemed to focus more on genital-related humilations. So that could be nice for a sunny summer’s day.
If you’re feeling lucky you can try and win tickets here - but you’ll need to be quick as today is the closing date…
