Beats for love plays another ace – the legendary Eric Prydz will perform at the Czech festival for the first time ever!
In less than four months, the biggest open-air dance party marathon will start. Ostrava’s Beats for Love electronic music festival is celebrating its tenth anniversary and on this occasion its organisers will bring the biggest stars of the world dance scene to the Czech Republic. In addition to the previously announced David Guetta, the Swedish legend, DJ and producer Eric Prydz, who has been occupying the top of the world charts for years, will also come to Ostrava and will perform in the Czech Republic at the openair festival for the first time.
Eric Prydz (47 years old), whom his fans may also know under the names Pryda or Cirez D, is one of the most significant personalities of the house and electronic scene in general. His 2004 megahit “Call on Me” catapulted him to the top of many mainstream charts and earned him a place in the history of house music. His tracks “Pjanoo” and “Proper Education”, for which he received a Grammy nomination, have also made a similar impact. Together with his colleagues Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello, they founded the project called Swedish House Mafia, of which Prydz was only a part in the beginning. Thanks to his work, he achieved recognition within the underground electronic dance music community and his next track “Opus” is still one of the most played tracks not only in clubs but also at open air events.
“Eric Prydz will perform at the festival in the Czech Republic for the very first time in his career and we are thrilled that we managed to book him for the tenth anniversary of our festival. Just from the terms of our cooperation, his show will be truly unforgettable! Negotiations and efforts to get him have been going on for years and finally it worked out,” adds Kamil Rudolf, the festival director, enthusiastically.
Fans can enjoy Eric Prydz’s highly awaited show on the main Love Stage by ČSOB on Thursday 4th July. In addition to Prydz and the previously mentioned world stars, other well-known performers will also appear on the festival’s main stage. There will be the Italian three-member producer project Meduza, who has been nominated for a Grammy, the king of the world drum and bass Andy C or A-Trak, who was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 50 most important names in the EDM scene.
The Harmony House Square by Evropa 2 now presents a whole range of names that will surely please not only fans of the house scene. Josh Butler, Hannah Wants, Low Steppa, Jenn Getz & Alfie and Raffa FL will perform on this stage. On the Future stage by Proud, Anden, Enamour, Estiva, Hypaton, M.O.S., Magnificence and Ferry Corsten, one of the pioneers and biggest names in trance music, will bring their show
