Pete Tong chooses Powderham Castle over Ibizan beach
Pioneering Pete Tong says Exeter's grass is a better dancefloor than Ibizan beaches as he chooses Powderham Castle for his Ibiza Classics show this summer
When it comes to the ultimate dance floor, global DJ, broadcaster and presenter, Pete Tong is swapping hot golden sands for the cool green grasses of Powderham Castle, because he feels our Brit soil is better to dance on than sand.
As the pioneering icon of house music brings his Ibiza Classics show to Exeter on 28 August, alongside Jules Buckley and the Essential Orchestra, Tongie explains that the green green grass of home, is the ideal dance floor for this spectacular show.
"Hot sand between the toes is great, but when you're dancing, those Ibizan beaches take their toll. That's why I've hand-picked some of the UK's best green-spaces for my Ibiza Classics outdoor shows this year, with Exeter's Powderham Castle being a perfect spot," comments Pete. "Solid turf and cool green grass give a great underfoot surface, so audiences can kick off their shoes and dance to their heart's content."
"The sheer depth and dimension that Jules' orchestra brings to the iconic house classics that I play, mean that audiences need the best possible environment to dance in. And you can't get better than the beautiful parks of our homeland. I can't wait to see those shoes being kicked off as we allow people to go-green and Powderham Castle."
