Platform 18 have added a third date to their powerhouse September Street Festival, where they will welcome some of dance music’s biggest names to Glasgow’s West Street. The renowned party starters are back with three open-air raves on the Southside of the River Clyde. Resident and curator Ivan Kutz, has pulled out all the stops for the recently added Friday date.
Ben Sims, Luke Slater, Harvey McKay, Sosak (aka Gary Beck), Lunarpatz take centre stage. We will also be treated to a special rate live set from techno festival veteran Surgeon.
A real highlight for will be Glasgow favourite Ben Sims, who has spent all his life exploring the many facets of underground dance music.
As always Mental health will be at the heart of the event. Ivan has been supporting the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) since 2013, in memory of his close friend and, said: ” The SAMH charity is very close to my heart since losing a close friend to suicide… this spurred me on to set up the street party and build it all around mental health awareness.”
Over £5,000 has already been generated for the charity and festival organisers further explained: “We looked into this and found an effective way to connect with 18-25-year-olds is through the power of electronic music with over 10,000 attending the events over the years.
Meanwhile, Gillian McManus, community fundraising manager at SAMH, shared her appreciation for Platform 18’s support, commenting: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Platform 18 for choosing to fundraise for SAMH. This money will help SAMH raise awareness, promote good mental health and support those in Scotland affected by mental health problems.”
