Scouse trio The Wombats, and indie four-piece British Sea Power, are joined by punk veterans The Damned, and unsigned local duo LightsGoBlue are the latest acts announced for the event which hopes to raise raise money for endangered animals.

Red List Live Festival Director Eddie Hill said, "As a music festival set-up to help save endangered species, I can't think of a more appropriate act than The Wombats to help us on our way! Not only have they got a particularly suitable name for the job, they will also be a big draw for the festival. It's great that we've also got some legendary names heading to the festival too, and we'll be announcing some more names very shortly."

The acts previously confirmed include Klaus Says Buy The Record, Archie Bronson Outfit, White Rose Movement, The Undertones, and The Wedding Present with many more still to be announced.

The festival promises a line-up of many more live music acts and DJ's and will offer around 200 acts in total, along with a host of other activities, including the animal park which will be open to all festival goers.

The festival is not associated with last year's ZooThousand festival, it just happens to be utilising the same site.

£5 from every weekend ticket sold, and 50 per cent of the profits from the festival will go to the charity. A fundraising target of £100,000 has been set for 2009, with the festival hoping to help donate £1,000,000 for some of the world's most at risk animals in five years. Red List LIVE will also help raise awareness of the endeavours of the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species which is widely recognised as the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species.
