PAST EVENTS // WALL OF FAME
Every legend has a beginning was printed on the entrance tickets of the first Liberty White party, held on the 8th of October 2005 at the Rector in Ghent. Liberty White originally was a small party organised for friends and fellow techno music addicts. The slogan printed on the tickets however showed that the organisers had bigger plans. It quickly became clear that it wasn't just a party but a real concept, trying to do something new and different in the world of techno. They did and continue to do so, partly because of the two main goals pursued at every party.
Liberty White regulars know what to expect. Even the smaller editions, held across the Belgian countryside, were organised to perfection. No costs are spared to give the underground music addict what he really wants: nice lighting, pounding sound, stunning visuals, deco, it's all there. This is one of the two important characteristics of Liberty White.
Originally the focus was on techno but quickly the concept starting developing a particular interest and specialty for hardtechno. This is a second strong characteristic of the concept. We do not only provide you the best of the best in international and national artists, we also support upcoming talent. We give them the chance to prove themselves in front of an open minded crowd at our parties, programming them in the line-up and
timetable alongside legends and established artists. A strong point of the concept, because we believe that young motivated artists can also impress and surprise with new sounds, adding more value to our concept as a whole.
Liberty White has known a steady growth over the years, creating an ever growing fan base all over Belgium and beyond. After the first edition in
2005 several smaller editions followed. In 2006 the first anniversary edition was held, which became an annual tradition. Next to that a lot of other editions followed during the year, which would later be known as the Subsessions. Liberty White Subsessions are smaller editions or club
versions hosted between the big annual anniversaries. The are sometimes used to celebrate big deejays birthdays (such as Frank Kvitta or Ivee).
The 4th anniversary in Waregem Expo was a huge success, over 40 deejays and live-acts rocked the crowd. People left craving for more. Belgium used to be the cradle of new exciting underground sounds and genres. Over the years however, the concepts supporting these genres have
started to disappear. That's why Liberty White wants to offer these genres to a large crowd in a more accessible setting, without losing its underground feel. Thanks to the success of the 4 year anniversary, new opportunities came along. A Liberty White stage at The Qontinent (outdoor festival of harder music styles) and a Liberty White truck at the City Parade are examples. The reactions were very positive at both events. It's clear that people are ready for this concept.
That's why the organization decided to move the 5 year anniversary to a worthy location in February 2011. This celebration had to be huge and it
had to be heard all over the nation. The legendary Flanders Expo in Ghent therefore hosted this huge party, which would be called Chronicles. Liberty White Chronicles was the first nationwide celebration of a party, a concept and a way of thinking. It shook the foundations of Flander Expo
and all 6000 ravers present witnessed the power of Liberty White.
In 2012, the concept is back. Bigger names, the experience of 2011 and ready to welcome a bigger crowd. Check this site for the full line-up,
tickets and practical details. Also, become a fan on Facebook because till the 4th of February we'll be doing contests to win tickets WEEKLY !
Thanks for your support and see you in February 2012!
