To kick off the party, we’ve got Lady Gaga’s very own DJ VH1 headlining on the main floor!  If you’ve ever been to a Gaga concert, he’s right there on stage bangin’ it out at every show, so you KNOW this is going to be awesome!

The vault level features a new music format too… POP!  Nothing but the best in Pop dance music that college girls love!  Its the style made infamous by the success of Bourbon Street Harrisonburg, now brought home to DC at Ultrabar!

“I finally solved the ages-old problem of scummy guys bothering girls at the club.   Every time I see one bothering a girl on my dancefloor, I start playing stuff like Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Lady Gaga, and magically the scum goes away!  It works better than bleach!  The girls love it and the trashy guys hate it! Its great!” Maskell said.

Maskell at Shamrockfest 2009

For the fourth year in a row, DJ Maskell has been asked to headline once again at the largest yearly music festival in Washington DC, Shamrockfest!  It is quite a high honor to be asked to return year-after-year to such a prestigious event, and very few have had the privilege of doing so even once, let alone on a recurring basis.

This massive music festival draws an average of 40,000+ DC area concertgoers to see amazing performers performing on a dozen stages spanning across the RFK Stadium Festival Fairgrounds.   With dozens of attractions, entertainment areas, games, rides, food vendors, and of course a never-ending supply of BEER, this Saint Patrick’s day celebration is like none other in the region.  The Festival Fairgrounds are filled with happy St. Patties Day revelers and partygoers in a sea of green that’s not to be mistaken for the nearby Anacostia River.

Maskell and Paul Oakenfold backstage at Shamrockfest 2008

DJ Maskell will be headlining in the Electronic Music showcase, an entire stage area devoted entirely to the pulsing sounds, rhythms, and melodies of Electronic Dance Music.  Maskell will be throwing down a signature set of house, dance, electro, and live mashups that is sure to tear up the crowd like no other DJ can.  As Maskell says, “I’m not satisfied with my performance until I hear people spontaneously shouting ‘wooo!’.  That’s when you know you’ve got something good.”

Historically, Maskell has electrified the crowd at Shamrockfest with pounding bass, ripping beats, compelling melodies, and driving rhythms that force people to dance whether they like it or not.   Renowned local heavy metal music enthusiast and shock jock Michael Swinburne was in attendance at Shamrockfest 2009, and candidly remarked “God I hate this techno shit, but I just can’t help but dance to it when Maskell’s playing.  He’s really damn good.”

Live on the decks at Shamrockfest 2007

There’s no question about Maskell’s talent.  From his roots working the nightlife scene in DC as a flyerboy to starting his own nightclub and gaining residencies at radio stations, music festivals, nightclubs, and major events, Maskell has made an impressive career for himself.  He’s even headlined at one of the most famed weekly electronic events in the world, GLOW, which brings the biggest names in electronic dance music to the heart of Washington DC.  Glow is an event that is of the same caliber as Gatecrasher and Ministry of Sound, which have been the key pillars in establishing and maintaining the electronic music scene around the world.

So get ready for an insane performance this year at Shamrockfest, because rain or shine, its going to be out-of-this-world!

Shamrockfest is a major yearly music festival held in on the RFK Stadium Festival Fairgrounds in Washington DC. The lineup this year includes such artists as: The Roots, Seven Nations, Train, Mr. Greengenes, Stephen Kellog and the Sixers, Street Dogs, Donegal Xpress, Carbon Leaf. Scythian, Enter The Haggis, Icewagon Flu, The Tossers, Black 47, Dr FU, Charm City Saints, The Rovers, Bare Knuckle Boxers, Rome In A Day, Hotspur, & White Ford Bronco, Along Those Lines, DJs: Oh Snap!!, Playboy Model DJ Kay Jay, Chris Styles, Flounder, Dave Russell (Flipside), Pat Premier, Maskell, Kwest, Lil’ Fos, DJ “Q”, Yummy and Rene!

NOTE! Shamrockfest 2010 will go on rain or shine, so dress appropriately! Shamrockfest rain has happened in the past and has not slowed people down at all.  Its still just as packed and crazy!  So bring an umbrella just-in-case it rains at Shamrockfest this year because the show WILL GO ON!

STEP ONE: SUBMIT YOUR LIST TO ME

Guestlist line on the right in this pic, regular admission on left closer to wall.

Submit your list to me before 7pm on the day of the event. A guest list submission should look like this:

Jessica Yearry
Mike Swinburne
John Hall
Darren Watkins +4
Juan Alvarez +10

One name per line, first and last name. The “plus number” means that there will be (number) of guests showing up with that person. You can do that instead of listing every name, but remember that these people must show up with the person whose name is listed.

STEP TWO: SHOW UP TO THE CLUB (ON TIME)

Guestlist girl in white, center of pic, marking customers off the guestlist at Ultrabar

- When you arrive at the club, there will be two lines: The everyday loser line and the Guestlist Line, which are side-by-side on the right side of the building. (the left side is for table reservations, etc)

- The guestlist line at Ultrabar and Fur is the one closest to the curb, away from the wall. Just look for the important-looking person with the clipboard. Not sure? Just ask any employee or promoter.

- When you talk to the person with the clipboard, just tell them “hey, I’m on DJ Maskell’s Guest List. I’m (name).” If you’ve got a plus number, continue with “…and these are my plus (number) guests.”

This is the Regular Admission line at peak hour

- Pay attention to the guestlist times listed on the event page or in the confirmation message that I send back to you. This means you must be inside the door by those times to get hooked up, so please remember to keep that in mind when planning your night. Parking, ID Check, and stuff like that ALWAYS takes longer than you expect.

STEP THREE: PARTY!

I certainly hope that I don’t have to explain this part to you!
