New Young Pony Club for Brighton's Loop

Loop the one-day music and digital art festival spread across four specially created performance areas in the heart of Brighton has announced its first acts to appear on Saturday 16th August at Victoria Gardens, Brighton, East Sussex.

New Young Pony Club, Holy Fuck, Caribou, Nostalgia 77 Octet, Peggy Sue And The Pirates, Fulborn Teversham and Planning To Rock are the first acts confirmed, with many more acts to be announced shortly. They are billed alongside experimental leftfield acts, all complemented by innovative art with VJs, films and animation.

After the success of the inaugural one-day event in 2007, Loop 2008 returns to to central Brighton. The seaside city will host a selection of bands and DJs alongside an abundance of cutting edge digital art and culture. After the site closes down in the day, the event morphs into LoopLate which has DJs and live performance around Brighton until the early hours.

Loop festival will be spread across four areas: the Hub and Futures tents in the main arena will play host to the most prominent acts, while Limits will provide an internal space for the more leftfield and experimental artists. Finally, artists known primarily for their electronic work will be displaying their mellower, even acoustic side in the intimate Loop Garden.

The programme will also include other aspects of digital culture, including animation, film, dance, theatre and installations, as well as VJ performances throughout the day.

Tickets will be priced at £25 and will go on sale on Thursday 1st May.
