Electric Garden Festival - Further Acts

[Sonic Vista]

We now have the bill in a fairly complete state
Friday will be:
The Watch, Nerve Toy Trio, Dropshard
(All 3 of these bands are due to have albums out prior to the festival and we are really looking forward to the opening night. Nerve Toy Trio is a welcome addition being Tony Harn's new band. After his 5 solo albums on Burning Shed and collaboration with Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson on the No-man album 'World of Bright Futures' the new project looks particularly intriguing)

The Saturday line up is:
The Tangent, Abel Ganz, IT, Godsticks, SeYes and Earthling Society

Tickets are available from the official website or HMV Tickets

Forgot to mention that the first 300 tickets sold will receive prog goody bags courtesy of Burning Shed, Musea Records, Sonic Vista, Emusic and more to be added. All 2-Day tickets also get official CD/DVD film of event.

It's a real shame that this is the same weekend as ROSfest or I would have been there in a flash.

Good luck with the event.

We just saw The Watch perform at Summer's End and they were amazing.

If there are any Brits or European Moonbuds who are not going to ROSfest then make the effort and go to Blackpool. These events need our support.

It sounds like a terrific weekend.

Good luck with this mate. The more festivals we get here in the UK the better I say.

The new edition of Classic Rock Presents Prog has a great feature on Ian Anderson/Tull. We were fortunate enough to interview Ian at his home for our festival documentary film (because of his Blackpool connections). He was very charming and inspite of the fact that his flight from the US was delayed and the lack of sleep he still gave us a long interview. I'll be publishing it in the festival programme. There are also articles (in Classic Rock presents Prog) on Credo and Matt Stevens who play the Thursday night (along with Also Eden).

I'm glad to say ticket sales are healthy for the inaugural EG Prog Festival. With just 7 weeks to go, we are putting the final touches to the festival plan. Our last preview video will feature Ian Anderson and John Robb. Festival Website
