Monday 25th February 2008


The Solway Festival or Solfest as it's more commonly known, which takes place from Friday the 22nd to Monday the 24th August has announced feel good band Supergrass as one of the headliners for the festival which takes place at Tarns, nr Aspatria, Cumbria.

Solfest is a non-commercial music and arts festival with a warm atmosphere set between the Solway Firth and the Lake District mountains in picturesque West Cumbria, as always it features a massive range of musical and cultural adventures.

Solfest has something for everyone, with a main stage, the Dance Tent, the Dry Stone stage with many smaller acts, and a children’s area with workshops to amaze, educate and enthral kids and adults throughout the day.

The festival policy is "to appeal to four generations of people, from the tiny babies through to the great-grannies and great-granddads (and everyone else in between) and have them all partying together at the same time – and lovin’ it!"

Tickets are expected on sale on Monday 7th April 2008, and are likely to sell out quickly. We'll have the ticket buying details when available.
