10 years ago festivals were few and far between, don’t get me wrong, they did exist but it was the same few and they delivered. fast forward 210 years and there are almost 100′s of different festivals, many of them with similar lineups and most of them squeezing two days worth of money out of people, now don’t get me wrong i don’t really have a problem with lots of festivals but do we need more?
The answer seems to be yes! in Essex! There has been an announcement about an announcement that will be made regarding a new ‘Massive’ festival that has been planned for 2011 from 1st – 4th June.
The festival will hold 120,000 people and will comprise of bands, comedy, dance music. I don’t want to treat people as though they are stupid but 120,000 people is a lot of people! This capacity puts the festival on a size only a little bit smaller than Glastonbury.
I’m not sure who the organisers are but i would presume that they already have festival experience as well as lots of experience in organising such a large event! To have such a large capacity for the first event, they would have to have the most amazing line-up ever. As the market is saturated its getting harder and harder to sell out a festival. My question to them would be, what are they going to bring i can’t get closer to home? Essex is a long way from home for a lot of people!
Tickets for the event will be made available after their announcement on the 4th of March.
