gnome need for cash at The Square Festival

plus line-up includes The Beat, Supergrass, Skindred, and Drumsound

Monday 6th April 2009


Plans are being made for this year's The Square Festival to use Gnomes as a form of currency.

The organisers of the festival which happens on the western coast of Wales have announced that the figurines of the little garden people will be used to pay for certain goods and services on site. For example in order for festival goers to use the site showers festival-goers will have to present a Gnome. The event will also have 'Fun Police' who will be awarding Gnomes to people who look like they are having fun.

Also announced today are this year's headliners who are Supergrass, The Beat, Skindred, and Drumsound with more acts to be confirmed in the upcoming week.

The festival happening from Friday 24th until Sunday 26th July has expanded to three days of live music over 5 stages and capacity has risen to 5,000. The festival site can be seen from Borth train station, which has regular trains linking West Wales up to Shrewsbury and Birmingham. The site is around 250m from an award winning 2-mile stretch of beach.

This year the festival will have a wide of fun things for people to do including a Human Zoo where people have to wear an animal costume to enter. The festival will also be running a 'Clothes Swap-Shop'.

Tickets are on sale priced at £45 for a weekend ticket, and under 12's go free. To buy tickets, click here.
