scheduling the event in the same month.
They stated, "It is at the end of the exams and still long way away from the
Reading and V festivals. The intention is to go ahead of Glastonbury. I will be spending a lot more on headline acts
this year, and I am in negotiations with acts at the moment, but I don't want to say who."
Last year's festival, featured The Charlatans, Starsailor, Hundred Reasons, The Coral and Robert Plant, attracting less-than-capacity
crowds of around 10,000.
