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.
