For its eighth edition from 7th to 8th September 2012, Berlin Festival is proud to announce another top-class line-up including Sigur Rós, Franz Ferdinand, Orbital, Paul Kalkbrenner, Friendly Fires, Metronomy and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Once again, the Art Village will be home to national and international artists presenting their work, plus the world's biggest Silent Arena After Show Party will take over Tempelhof Airport this year.
Organisers of Britain’s pioneering boutique festival the Big Chill announced that August’s outdoor event has been cancelled, over concerns about the impact London’s upcoming Olympics will have.
“Efforts are being made to look to bring a smaller event indoors this year,” a staffer wrote on the site’s Forum, “with the anticipation of Big Chill being back outdoors in 2013,” she added.
Joseph Kony is a Ugandan guerrilla group leader, head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
Kony 2012 is a campaign by the nonprofit cause Invisible Children. It tries to show the problem of using children soldiers.
Invisible Children say: "KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."
