This year there will also be snow at the festival with the addition of a SNO!zone with more than 80 tonnes of real snow. The indoor snow slope, which is based in Castleford, near Leeds, will haul the snow over the Pennines to create the SNO!zone Off Piste area at the Cumbrian festival. The Alpine themed area will provide a place to chill out after watching bands as well as including a 30m real snow slide and snowboard simulator as well as DJs playing a variety of hip-hop, reggae and summer tunes.
