Chapter 13, The Rainbow Venues Festival 2017 - review
As another Rainbow Venues Chapter draws to a close we recap the highs and lows, beats and flows, artistic creations and taste sensations that blessed the Digbeth arches this weekend.
Once again Birmingham's long standing Rainbow Venues delivered an all-encompassing, one-day festival, that provided everything and anything those in attendance could have asked for.
From the incredible spread put on by the likes of Digbeth Dining's Low & Slow, Canoodle, and Baked in Brick, to the melodic beats of Adam Beyer's showstopping Warehouse set, Chapter 13 fulfilled all those Easter weekend wishes.
As the beautiful spring weather shined down, a sea of party goers began the day earlier - working their way through the venue's elaborate layout, including a packed mainstage circus tent that welcomed visitors with its inviting harmony of lights and rhythm, as well as the famous Rainbow Venues Terrace and the ever packed Warehouse room.
And each and every venue hosted yet another stellar line up of DJs, including Jamie Jones, The Black Madonna, Midland and Adam Beyer to name a few.
Chapter 13 didn't just bring the treats in the music department, either, with a host of accompanying party favours that each any every disco diva could enjoy. Such as the constantly busy glitter stand that dazzled all those who passed through its doors, to the on-site ice cream truck that kept those shape-shifting bellies full before they stepped onto the dancefloor.
With such a packed line-up, full of both homegrown talent and international artists, a perfectly complementary variety of appetizers and activities, and a gorgeous day of spring sunshine, Chapter 13 delivered all the frivolity of a three-day festival in one hugely entertaining twelve-hour stint.
