Butserfest 2013: Preview

Saturday September 14th will see around 20 bands descend upon Queen Elizabeth Country Park, near Petersfield, Hampshire for Butserfest 2013. It's a drink and drug free festival designed intentionally for the young people in East Hampshire who had previously said there was not enough to do in their area. Evidently the idea went down a storm because it is now in its seventh(!) year and the line-ups are going from strength to strength.

Previous years have included such acts as Funeral For A Friend, Young Guns, Deaf Havana, Lower Than Atlantis, Kids In Glass Houses, Lost Souls Club, Yashin, You Me At Six, Elliot Minor and The King Blues.

This year could possibly top them all with the likes of We Are The Ocean, headlining the main stage and Bleed From Within headlining the Glory or Death stage. What makes this festival better than its contemporaries is not only the great music, but that there are no age restrictions on attendees and there are a range of fun activities included in the ticket price. Bungee Runs, Inflatable Laser Quest, Human Demolition and Zorbing have already been booked for this year!

Tuesday September 10th my radio show on Infernal Rock Radio will be inspired by the festival and I'll be playing many of the bands I'll be checking out and hopefully reviewing whilst there.
