Sunrise Celebration

Sunrise celebration will this year be held on 29th May - 1st June.

This is the 3rd year for the festival and is based down in somerset.
Its a festival committed to setting new standards of sustainability - in fact it's probably one of the greenest festivals at the moment you'll go to.

There are 12 stages with 13 arenas. The entertainment is a real 24 hour thing and they are really keen to promote the fun element of the festival. It includes shows, workshops and everything else you would come to expect.

There will be 200 live bands at the event and 100 Dj's. It also includes some of my old favorites I used to listen to (and still do) The Orb, and Eat Static.

This is a great alternative to the Glastonbury event, which has now become so saturated. Gone are the days at Glasto where you and your group of mates can buy a load of tickets and go along together. I blame that for the problem of reduced ticket sales to the event.

This is a real alternative, and to quote Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Organiser "The Sunrise celebration seems to me to be something like it was here about 35 years ago"

Word of warning as stated by Sunrise - do NOT buy tickets from www.summerfestivals.com - This apparently is a touting website and tickets from here will be refused entry.
