OrbitalBloc Festival is taking shape this year, with Orbital, Battles, Gary Numan , Snoop Dogg, Flying Lotus, Nicholas Jaar and more set to perform on a German deep-sea fishing vessel in the heart of London.

The festival is taking place in the London Pleasure Gardens, in the Royal Victoria Docks - one venue of which will be a German deep-sea fishing vessel. According to a statement:

"The Motor Ship Stubnitz is a deep-sea fishing vessel that belonged to the German Democratic Republic before the collapse of Communism. It is 80 metres in length and weighs 2,541 tonnes. A team of forward-thinking artists and engineers have converted it into a moving platform for the sonic and visual arts."
