Guilfest
***BLONDIE, THE LEVELLERS, AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW, KULA SHAKER, CERYS MATHEWS, FROM THE JAM & FREAKPOWER CONFIRMED FOR
GUILFEST JULY 4/5/6 2008***

Blondie, The Levellers and The Australian Pink Floyd Show will headline the main stage of GuilFest on 4/5/6th July 2008, which this year is sponsored by Commercial Radio for the first time.

Folk-punk legends The Levellers headline the opening night on Friday 4th July. These festival favourites return to GuilFest with a full line-up for the first time since 1997 to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Hits such as ‘What a Beautiful Day’, ‘One Way’, and classics such as ‘Liberty’, ‘The Boatman’ and ‘Sell-out’ have placed The Levellers firmly as one of the UK’s top acts. The Levellers won the “Best Festival Feel Good Act” award at the 2007 UK festival awards and their performance at GuilFest 2008 will definitely be a not-to-be-missed occasion.

Blondie, who have sold over 40 million albums since their inception in late 1970s, will headline on Saturday 5th July. Expect a whole host of top ten hit singles including ‘Atomic’, ‘Denis’, ‘Heart of Glass’, ‘Hanging On The Telephone’, ‘Union City Blue’ ‘One Way or Another’, ‘The Tide is High’, ‘Maria’ and many more. Fronted by the iconic Deborah Harry, the band have played tons of huge gigs all over the world and in 2006 were inducted into the prestigious “Rock n Roll Hall of Fame”. Blondie’s Saturday night set at GuilFest 2008 promises to be an amazing experience!

The Australian Pink Floyd Show will bring the festival to a close on Sunday 6th July with a “must be seen to be believed” spectacular psychedelic lightshow that’s sure to provide GuilFest with an incredible, unmissable finale! One of the biggest tribute acts in the world, who have sold out the Royal Albert Hall numerous times in the last few years, they are also the only Pink Floyd tribute act ever to play for any Pink Floyd member - In 1996 performing, by request, at David Gilmour's 50th birthday. Prepare to be blown-away by this audio-visual feast for your senses.

Multi-platinum selling psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker are special guest act on Saturday July 5th. Expect to hear a set of classics such as ‘Tattva’, Govinda’ and ‘Hey Dude’ from the band’s seminal first two albums “K” (1996) and “Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts” (1999) combined with fresh tracks from their 2007 album “Strangefolk”.

Following their sold out 2007 UK tour, From the Jam featuring two-thirds of the original line up of The Jam (Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, alongside new members Russell Hastings and Dave Moore) are confirmed for Sunday July 6th, as is charismatic Welsh singer-songwriter Cerys Mathews, formerly of Catatonia, while acid jazz funksters Freak Power! headline the second stage on Friday 4th July.

RedFest
Friday 4th & Saturday 5th July 2008
Robins Cook Farm, Redhill, Surrey

Redfest is proud to announce

The Maccabees
& Late Of The Pier

have joined the line up alongside:
Lightspeed Champion | Does It Offend You, Yeah? | Elliot Minor | Operator Please | Fear Of Music | Ebony Bones | This City | Johnny Foreigner | Pete and The Pirates | Haunt Wizards | SixNationState

more acts TBC

All this for £64.00 + booking fee!

This year sees the launch of a new festival – with a difference - Redfest. This exciting two day festival, with onsite camping, takes place in parkland near Redhill, Surrey (a mere 15 miles from London) and features some of the most exciting acts to emerge from today’s thriving underground music scene. With a music policy spanning indie, rock, electro and dance there’s enough to capture the imagination of today’s iPod generation.

A small independently run festival, Redfest’s ethos is simple: take it back to how it used to be. It’s all about the music, with a gathering of likeminded souls united in the spirit of musical discovery and a sense of freedom. Promoter Matt Nichols had this to say:

“In today’s crowded festival market, there aren’t that many independently run festivals who are putting on events without jumping into bed with the big corporations. How many festivals these days feel soulless? With Redfest, I want to reduce the emphasis on gimmicks and corporate sponsorship and take things back to basics so today’s youth can have the same experience that previous generations of festival goers had: an event put on purely with music in mind.”

With a snug 5,000 capacity Redfest is big enough to feel like other weekend festivals but small enough to find your friends if you lose them. They’ll be loads of bars, regularly cleaned toilets, great food stalls, lots of silly fun to be had and of course some of the best up and coming talent on the Main Stage .

VICTORIA PARK, LONDON, 8TH AUGUST 2008
www.myspace.com/underage_club / www.underagefestivals.com


After last year’s massive sell out success, Underage is returning to the playground of Victoria Park for its second year of a modern music master class. The world’s first incarnation of the Underage festival in 2007 was an unprecedented summer sensation and this year’s line up is bigger and bolder, featuring a detention hall full of bright young things.

Headlining the event are Gallows, the most unpredictable, riotous, rock n’ roll band on the planet, whose particular brand of hard core punk is sure to provide one of the seminal festival moments of 2008. Following in their slip stream are Foals, whose recently released debut album was one of the most eagerly anticipated records in recent years and The Horrors, those big haired, squid-flinging, art school ghouls who bring their Goth-garage to Victoria Park.

Hip-hop, punk riffs and baile funk is the intoxicating concoction provided by Diplo endorsed Brazilians, Bonde De Role, whilst French trio, The Teenagers combine brilliant, self-aware, smart sentiments with lush, danceable, huggable pop.

Playing across the other stages are leading lights of the UK’s alternative music scene including, Bombay Bicycle Club / Cheeky Cheeky and the Nosebleeds / Count And Sinden / Florence And The Machine / Fryars / Ipso Factor / Operator Please / Poppy And The Jezebels / Scum / Sons And Daughters / Team Waterpolo / The Rifles / Those Dancing Days / Wild Beasts / XX Teens
