Electric Peacock Festival 2013

Tinie Tempah is almost here. In just a few days, he is set to rock the stage at the Electric Peacock Festival on Saturday, 27th April 2013 at Waters Edge. Tinie has achieved a great number of fetes, including: 1.3 million copies of Disc-Overy sold worldwide, 6 million single sales, 12 major awards, 4 No.1 singles (Pass Out, Written In The Stars, Earthquake ft Tinie, R.I.P ft Tinie). His crowning achievement was in the summer of 2012, when he was handpicked to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics to an audience of over 770 million viewers worldwide.

“We are ecstatic to have such a huge credible artist headline our festival,” said Leah Bazalgette, Director of the Electric Peacock Festival, “we have been watching our Facebook fan responses as well as the media responses and are so overjoyed by how excited Sri Lanka seems to be over his upcoming performance.”

His online stats are also incredibly impressive, with over 300 million YouTube/ Vevo views, 1.5 million Twitter followers and 3.3 million Facebook Fans to date. A festival favourite, Tinie has performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 2011, and has played every major national and international festival from SXSW to Coachella, Ibiza Rocks, Australia’s Big Day Out and Radio 1’s Big Weekender, where he found a new fan in the form of Prince William. Now, his fans can see him perform in Sri Lanka at the Electric Peacock Festival 2013.

There is so much to look forward to above and beyond the music at the Electric Peacock Festival. In keeping with their efforts every year to find an unique and beautiful location, the Electric Peacock team has chosen the Waters Edge to play host to the Festival this year. The serene waterfront, the luscious green gardens and the newly built boardwalk will help to set the ambience for the event this year.

The Festival team have been buzzing about a special Love Guru, who will be available to give festival goers some well needed advice at the event in a special chill out tent within the festival grounds.
