Create Music Festival 2008
The 2008 Create Music
Festival is nearly upon us and the full line up has been announced
for all stages, with more details about all of the other
entertainment that is planned.
Returning for its 13th year, the Create festival, plus a cast of
thousands, is welcomed back to Victoria Park, Ashford, this
Sunday 27 July from noon until 8pm.
Admission is, as ever, free, although with so many food stalls,
events and things to do, when it comes to money, don’t leave home
without it.
Billed by The Sun newspaper as “the best tribute band on planet
rock”, 21st Century Stones are the headline act for the main
stage.
The line up is completed by John Wood, More Than Normal, Los
Salvadores, One Day Elliott, ShyChlo & the Boys, Springtide
Cavalry, D-finitive, Man Eat Monkey, Dolan’s Cadillac and Under The
Thumb.
Amy McDermott, lead singer & guitarist from all-girl group
Man Eat Monkey, will be playing the Main Stage this year: “Create
Festival is a great place to see young, local bands so it’s perfect
for us. This will be the biggest crowd we’ve played in front of so
we’re all quite nervous but really excited.”
In addition to all of the acts on the main stage, there is also
the Right Track Music Stage for up-and-coming bands to get a taste
of performing live, and with as many as 5,000 visitors expected on
the day, this should be a great experience for them.
Dance music is represented in the DJ tent with Acetate Records
providing the headline set, and they will also be running DJ
workshops throughout the day.
On top of this feast of music there are lots of other reasons
for going to Create this year, including Monty Hammond's Worldwide
Funfair, various exhibition stalls, face painting, children's
attractions, lots of food stalls, and much more.
Create is the biggest live event in Ashford Borough Council’s
musical calendar and brings to a close the whole Ashford Summer
Sounds programme, a collection of mostly free events and festivals
running throughout July sponsored by English Partnerships, the
national regeneration agency.
Chris Dixon, Arts Project Coordinator for Ashford Borough
Council, said: “This years Summer Sounds events have been a roaring
success, so I hope that Create will be the grand finale everyone
expects, as a big thank you to all our sponsors, supporters
participants and volunteers”.
