Huge outdoor festival near Newcastle?!

Huge outdoor festival near Newcastle?!

It says in January's edition of M8 magazine that there is going to be a massive, 25,000 capacity festival taking place at Maften Estate near Newcastle on may 27th, featuring "six arenas of live bands alongside DJs drawn from the realms of electronic music."

Apparently it's organised by The Angel Music Group (organisers of Global Gathering) - I looked on their website and there is a brief mention of it under 'festivals'...... just thought there would have been more publicity about it, given that it's only 4 months away.
Or maybe I'm just being really dim again....

Has anyone heard anything?

is that bank holiday wkend?

Yep

u got any lineups or owt ???

just been on wessite theres no info r out:evil:

interesting.....

Maften is not far away

there isnt a licence granted yet thats why its being kept quiet...

No, if I did I would have said

Ah right. Me and my big mouth..............

Let's hope they do get a licence though cos that sounds mint

Obviously not that quiet if it's been printed in a Magazine

Would be a disgrace if it got knocked back or a suitable venue in the area couldn't be found.

Good point!

well when you are booking a lot of big names through agents in case it comes off....then theres bound to be leaks somewhere isnt there....

Shindig involved Scoobz? Birthday celebrations?

this the hifi thingy? heard summat about a hifi festival

probaly is!, this is what i wanted! A festival

Be fuckin great if this comes off.

Much overdue since the shambles of the Love Parade.

my first ever dj'ing gig was at Matfen Community Hall.

I was pissed off about the love parade!, I can remember still looking for small dj events when i was 15 i can remember calling house crap back then! I was at exhibation park for 5 minutes! If i stayed i would have been on tv!

Yeah, it is Should be good if it comes off
