Firefly Festival 2012 Preview
How did the great festivals start? I’m not entirely sure, but, if I’m honest, I would like to think they all started like this;
“Conceived one summers evening amid the burning embers of a bonfire, we had the idea of expanding an annual gathering of friends into an intimate but punchy little music festival…”
After taking a break last year Firefly festival, in the Herefordshire countryside, is back for 2012 and returning to its original roots.
The lineup is handpicked to allow new acts to play along more established/well known artists. This allows an accessible festival experience to be enjoyed by all.
Firefly is the most perfect mix of crazy cool beats with chilled acoustic sessions. Nobody is left out at this festival. Don’t fancy listening to the band or going crazy in the dance tent? – No problem- why not head over to the campfire and pick up one of the readily available guitars and have a jam!
That is the beauty of Firefly: The expected and unexpected fit together perfectly, and all set in a forest clearing, surrounded by miles of beautiful rolling hills. There is no pretension, but, there are no expectations either. Imagine a “big” festival, and then imagine it stripped back to its routes….. To where it all began. And there you will find Firefly.
The lineup for this year is nowhere near complete, however the beautiful people at Firefly have already confirmed the incredible Kyla La Grange, I dream in colour, Bruno Charles, Carousel, XIII and The Brave and Max Brydon (DJ), along with many more talented and diverse acts guaranteed to get you moving ‘til the wee hours.
Being a relatively small, intimate festival tickets are going to fly out, particularly at just £22.50 for an adult camping pass including booking fee! I went to Firefly in 2010 and had the most wonderful time; with incredible talent, like minded people, beautiful surroundings and the most wonderful setting, I for one cannot wait to add Firefly to my festi-list for 2012.
As soon as I know any more I will let you guys know, but for now this is just a little teaser………….!
See you there! x
