The secret has finally been lifted…
Minitek is to take place at one of New York’s most prized landmarks: the one and only Coney Island. The wide open space next to Astroland Park will be transformed into a beautiful festival site with two open air stages by the famous Wonderwheel, creating a magical atmosphere on Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14, 2008.
Due to major redevelopment plans, minitek will most likely be the last festival taking place in Coney Island. The minitek team chose the historic location to show out-of-town attendees two very diverse sides of New York City, contrasting from the night location at Midtown Manhattan’s Penn Plaza. The festival site is located between the Boardwalk, the beach and the Cyclone roller coaster, and is easily accessible by public transportation.
And this isn’t the only exciting news being revealed…
Francois K, one of New York’s electronic music legends and widely considered one of the forefathers of house music, has been announced as minitek’s latest addition to the line-up and will be closing one of the two festival stages on Sunday evening, September 14th. The minitek crew considers it an honor to have an artist as deeply rooted in New York’s music history as Francois K supporting the first edition of the festival.
