Xscape Blowout_005The Blow Out Festival took place on Saturday 28th July 2012 at Xscape.

The festival ran from midday to midnight and featured live fashion shows throughout the day, festival entertainment including circus performers and talking trees.  

Plus candy floss, facepainting, a caricaturist, licensed bar, kids play area and fairground rides from Keith Emmett & Sons.

The event also included a spectacular pyrotechnic drumming show as the finale of IF 2012, DRUMS OF FIRE (LES TAMBOURS DE FEU) - a trail blazing procession by the powerful and stirring Deabru Beltzak. 

Hailing from the Basque region of Spain, these fiery drummers unleash the devilish inhabitants of a witches’ coven into Central Milton Keynes . . .an extravaganza of live music, pyrotechnics and special effects to light up the streets in a truly incredible performance.
