    • Hi everyone.

      We've already informed you a while ago that the DENOVALI SWINGFEST ESSEN gets two cute siblings in 2013: DENOVALI SWINGFEST LONDON and BERLIN. All details regarding the London edition are available in this newsletter:

      TICKET PREORDER
      From now on you can preorder your ticket for the London edition happening on April 20 and 21 2013 at Scala, Loonon. The price is 28 Pounds (34 Euro) for a Saturday ticket, 28 Pounds (34 Euro) for a Saturday ticket and 56 Pounds (68 Euro) for a festival ticket (due to the high production costs of this Swingfest event there will be no discounted tickets for both days unfortunately). You can order your ticket via www.denovali.com/swingfest - we have a limited number of discounted early bird tickets available.
