***myfest, North Weald Airfield, May 3/4/5 2008****

ANNOUNCING MYFEST, NORTH WEALD AIRFIELD, MAY 3/4/5 2008
MyFest© is a festival for real music fans. It is about raw energy and raw talent, not soulless acts on corporate stages feeding the money hungry fat cats. (There are enough of those festivals already) MyFest features well over 100 acts over 3 days for £49+booking fee. It will be an awesome event, with more new talent and raw musical energy than ten years of 'corporate' festivals. 3 stages, free camping, and even clean toilets and showers, for under £50 for the (Bank Holiday) weekend of May 3/4/5 2008. The venue is North Weald Airfield, (near Harlow) just 20 miles from Central London, and 5 miles from Epping Central Line Underground station.

XFM are showcasing 40 bands from XFM Uploaded, on the XFM Uploaded/Broccoli Music Stage. XFM are major champions of new music, and we are delighted to be working with them to give the festival fan an event which truly addresses the real issues around today's festivals.


"Without the constant energy and relentless reinvention of unsigned talent, the whole industry would be forced to concede that the only way to spend a weekend is to watch Saturday nights parade of karaoke casualties, so when the chance to support a real musical event comes along its time to stand up and be counted"
Jon Brookes - The Charlatans


After years of overpriced food and drink, expect quality food at sensible prices. Camping (from 7am Saturday 3rd May) is included in the ticket price, as is car parking, and the event programme. When the legends who are Ocean Colour Scene heard about MyFest, they decided that they just had to be involved in an event committed to furthering the careers of upcoming unsigned and indie bands. OCS have been invited to appear as 'special guests' and will perform a unique set on Sunday evening. Steve Craddock is flying home from a European tour with Paul Weller, just to perform at the festival. Musically, the festival includes many bands that will be on everyone's Myspace profile in the future. Across genres the festival has sourced the hottest bands and performers, and giving them the chance to play to fans from all over the UK, on a festival stage.
