First two day event hits St Andrews by storm

Starfields Vanquish makes a name for it self

Two weeks ago today saw Starfields Vanquish descend upon St Andrews. The town's first two day student run music festival saw a whole host of international artists grace its streets. Over the weekend we saw Drum and Bass pioneers 'London Elektricity', UK beat boxing champion 'Beardyman', DJ legends 'Scratch Perverts', dance music maestro 'Bodryrox' and the institution that is Utah Saints. The focus was not only on the DJs and we were also graced with performances from local four piece 'DanDanDan', T in the Park performers 'Day of Days' and up and coming band 'The Gentlemen'




The event was held in a colossal festival tent in the grounds of one of the University's oldest colleges. Unfortunately for the event goers, the site had to be evacuated on the Saturday due to severe storms and gale force winds, however the event was saved by moving it to the local student's union where people didn't even notice the change. On the Sunday, all was well and the festival goers enjoyed an afternoon and night of entertainment on the festival site which had everything from a red bull support tent, food stands, University society village, an epic dance floor and one of the grandest structures in St Andrews.



The question on everybody's lips is now with the unheard of 'two day event', what will be next to the St Andrews event calendar? In the space of one year, we have seen the first St Andrews music festival, a full on rave in a 15th century quad and now a two day full blown music extravaganza. All I can say is watch this space.
