The August bank holiday dance music marathon on Clapham Common gets off to a flying start with Saturday's South West Four festival, the first part of the Clapham Weekender 2009. Headlining on the main stage are Sasha & Digweed, the Asterix and Obelix of progressive house, a timeless double act that is to dance music what Ronaldo and Rooney are to football. Also featuring is French legend David Guetta, Saved's Nic Fanciulli and the likes of Timo Maas, Layo & Bushwacka!, James Lavelle and Sander Kleinenberg. With stages run by The End, The Gallery and Global Underground pumping out beats all afternoon and evening alongside the main arena, this is as close to getting Creamfields into the capital as you're going to get. Seasoned ravers will be delighted to learn that on Sunday the whole thing is repeated with a fresh line-up for Get Loaded In The Park. For full schedule and more information go to www.southwestfour.com.
