On July 5th this year Zaķusala isle on the river Daugava in Riga shall lend it's green wide plains to the paradise of electronic dance music it will become during the annual open-air festival Essential KnockOUT.

Essential KnockOUT 2008 will again feature performances by the world's leading disc jockeys and electronic dance music producers;the artistic as well as the technical solutions promise to be even more impressive than last year;also the territory of the happening will be enlarged plus it will feature a wider spectrum of stages and tents.
As it was back in 2007 the technical constructions will be built in a way that ensures safety and performance in any kind of weather - most of the territory will be covered by a tent that already has a legendary status as the festival's main attraction image-wise.
The programme of Essential KnockOUT 2008 starts off already at 3 PM and is set to make the morning light.
Already in the daytime line-up on all stages will feature acts as important as those that will showcase in the night. From the moment the sound overwhelms the isle the organizers together with all dance music lovers hope to capture the moods of the biggest European festivals that's only possible by letting yourself go to the sound of the drum as the sun shines on the waters surrounding the green spot while waiting for the night to come to take us all into a whole new world with only these three words written in it's founding constitution - Music. Joy. Togetherness.
Already in April the guests of KnockOUT will be announced and the festival's official website www.knockoutfestival.com will become the main medium for regularly updated information on the festival-in-progress and all the details that would be of an attendant's interest.
KnockOUT 2007 was attended by 11 000, this year the organizers presume 15-20 000 people to attend for who's comfort a quality infrastructure will be provided starting from bars and good food to attractions, festival souvenir shops and chill-out zones. The optimal set of entrances and exits will eliminate crowd squashes and ensure an effective self-regulating system. Also appropriate measures will be taken concerning vehicle parking in the area though the organizers do advise to take an alternative way of attending the festival - either by foot or public transportation.
