    Working at festivals is highly recommended, I stumbled across some work at one the the Gatecrasher Summer Sound Ststem Festivals a few years back behind a bar (although i was praying I wasn't in the RnB tent) and I was happily dancing along to Tall Paul, Seb Fontaine and Mauro Picotto DJing whilst serving many bottles of water. I should have been paid for it, but for some reason i didn't - and it's the one job I didn't mind doing for free. The hours are long, but if you are very lucky like i was you will love every minute of it :) Left Stoke at around mid-day and travelled down to the site, returned the following day at about 10am!! Very tiring but a great experience!!
    There are no dates for the summer sound system this year (apparently) but there is still Creamfields and Global Gathering which you can contact to see if they need people!!

    Go and do it folks, you'll have a blast!! :T
  • The Blues Festival in Colne, Lancashire. You have to pay for the main stage, but most of the venues are free and there are people performing in virtually every pub in the town. 27th - 30th August

    Hi,
    Below are details from the Dundee Blues Bonanza website.



    The Dundee Blues Bonanza is an "All Day, All Free, All Blues" festival, taking place this year on 23rd, 24th and 25th
    July. The festival will take place across some 30 venues and will feature over 125 live performances, featuring artists and fans mainly from the UK and Europe but we have welcomed many others from all around the globe over the years.

    The Bonanza comprises a Friday Night International Promotional event this year featuring Mud Morganfield and the Dirty Aces and Lil Jimmy Reed and his “Kickass” band and this will take place at Dukes Corner (formerly The Doghouse) in Brown Street.

    The Saturday and Sunday Street Festival has been the foundation of the Bonanza for the last 15 years, and generates the famous "Bonanza Buzz", and regularly attracts over 12,000 visitors to Dundee.

    Finally on Sunday night we hold the DBB party, and this year it will feature Mud and Lil Jimmy. The party will take place in D!jà Vu Nightclub in the Cowgate.

    You obviously haven't looked close enough or are just making assumptions based on names.

    Free entry and parking at Bromsgrove Carnival. Weekend of 10-11 July.
    Normally a main stage and a bandstand with live music both days, they say there will be 10 hours worth this year, mainly local bands but nothing seems confirmed on the website yet.

    Probably be a good distraction from all the world cup stuff, although the matches are in the evenings so wont be missing anything when England make it to the final!!


    Search Bromsgrove Carnival via your favourite search engine for the website and the facebook.
