The Australian duo of electronic music, Knife Party, will be coming to Romania for the first time, but both members, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, are very familiar with the Romanian audience thanks to being part of the group Pendulum, headliner of B’ESTFEST Summer Camp 2011. They met in 2002, and since then stared to work on more musical projects together, when in the end the laid the foundations of the group Pendulum. Knife Party started as a secondary project, in 2012, but the success of the new formula determined both to focus more on its future. Knife Party was included in the top of the 100 best DJs by DJ Magazine, and collaborated over time with artists like Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, MistaJam, Foreign Beggars, I See MONSTAS, Tom Staar or Tom Morello. Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen have released 5 Eps and an album together, Abandon Ship (2014), which went to number two in the US Dance Chart, and the duo started frequently being headliners for more music festival line-ups.
