Festival veterans Back to the Planet are heading back to Endorse-It In-Dorset! Their first appearance in many years was at Endorse-It last year and they clearly loved it so much they're making a return visit, one of only four festival appearances this year, and Endorse-It was at the top of that list!

BTTP will be headlining the second stage on what has become the traditional Old School Festival night along with London punk ska dub-mentalists Inner Terrestrials whose members include Paco, Conflict's old drummer.

Other festival favourites booked are the fabulous mad-cap musical mixers Flipron, funky reggae, ska, and 2-tone exponents The Big and the grand 5 piece ska-pop energisers Six Nation State.

Endorse-It In-Dorset which returns on Friday 8th to Sunday 10th August always delivers a heady mixture of ska, dub, punk and more, from quality festival acts and some of those confirmed so far include Dreadzone, The Beat, Pronghorn, Goldblade, Cropdusters, Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs, Imperial Leisure, The Highliners, Fat Drunk & Stupid, Subgiant, Optic Nerves, Arno Carstens, Steranko, Cash Converted, and Guns of Navarone. There's no doubt the organisers have a few new exciting things up their sleeves for festival goers again this year, they usually do.

The festival is held on a beautiful rural site overlooking Cranbourne Chase in Dorset, the vibe is a safe, family friendly old school type of festival, with a reputation for quality entertainment at an affordable price. The festival has the same licences as last year, so there’s something to do during your whole time at the festival.

You can expect music and comedy, plus a kids area, food, beer, stalls, tipi hire, loadsa loos, family camping area, healing area, chill-out area - all the usual.
