The 80’s Rewind Festival | July 29th – 31st, 2011
80’s Rewind: The Christmas Tour
Rewind – The 80s Music
Festival is to launch a new weekend event at Scone Palace in Perthshire,
Scotland* (www.scone-palace.co.uk) in July 2011. The festival will
boast the biggest live outdoor line-up of 80s recording artists and
performers ever!
Originally launched at Henley-on-Thames in 2009,
the 80s Rewind Music Festival was the surprise success of the year
attracting 30, 000 people. What’s more, the festival was nominated for
Best New Festival of 2009.
In its second year at
Henley-On-Thames (2010), the festival grew to capacity at 40, 000 people
and was broadcast for the first time on Sky Arts television.
The
80s Rewind Festival boasts the biggest line-up of artists since Live
Aid and in its first two years has featured such iconic 80s names as:
Boy George, Tony Hadley, Rick Astley, Gloria Gaynor, Kim Wilde, ABC, Go
West, Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw and many more.
Now the
organisers have announced that a Scottish version of the festival will
be launched next year at the historic setting of Scone Palace in
Perthshire – the home of The Earls of Mansfield and the crowning palace
of the Kings of Scotland.
The festival will take place on the
weekend of the 29th – 31st July and will feature a massive line-up of
80s artists as well as loads of other festival fun from Silent Discos to
Live Karaoke bars along with Camping and Glamping (Glamorous Camping)
options.
Festival-goers will have to wait until the
middle of January for the full “official” line-up to be announced.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 9am on Friday January
21st.
