Lilo Festival

Whilst nothing has officially been confirmed yet, planning is underway for Newbury to host its very own large scale music festival in the shape of Lilo Festival, previously known as Newfest.

The festival management team which includes former Snooty Fox events manager Matt Sutton and Pig and Paper owner Martin Kavanagh (2 of Newbury’s leading live music venues) are currently working hard to secure an event license.

There has been a huge interest from the facebook and myspace communities and over 150 bands/artists are interested in playing at the event.  Whilst I would love to add us to that list, I think the other band members would prefer to get a couple of smaller gigs under our belt before we rocked such a large audience.
