EUROPE’S GREATEST BOUTIQUE FESTIVAL RETURNS …
Following last year’s sell-out festival at Trinity’s Royal Jersey Showground, Jersey Live, sponsored by Jersey Telecoms, returns for its seventh edition, which promises to be bigger and better than ever.
The festival has previously featured many great artists including The Prodigy, Kasabian, Razorlight, Dizzee Rascal, The Kooks, Snow Patrol, Basement Jaxx, 2manydjs and many more.
With five stages set in the quaint countryside surrounds of the parish of Trinity, and on the southernmost point of the British Isles – with some of Europe’s most stunning beaches – Jersey Live is positioned in one of the most idyllic settings imaginable. With a distinctly Anglo-Gallic flavour to the island and its 90,000+ inhabitants, Jersey offers a unique environment and Jersey Live the unique destination festival experience.
Jersey Live Festival takes place at the Royal Jersey Showground, Jersey on 4th and 5th September 2010. The Jersey Live billing is already packed with some of the biggest names in music. Saturday Night’s Main Stage Headliner is the mighty GROOVE ARMADA, who bring their huge back catalogue of hits and fantasy laser show with to amaze the Jersey Live crowd. The Main Stage headliner on the Sunday night is non other than the ‘Modfather’ himself, PAUL WELLER. The former Jam and Style Council front man released his tenth solo album in April Wake up the Nation, which hit number two in the album charts. Paul Weller was also crowned with the ‘Godlike Genius’ award at the NME Awards earlier this year, following the likes of U2, New Order, Ian Brown and Ozzy Osbourne, previous winners of the award.
MORE ACTS ANNOUNCED…
Other big names include platinum-selling singer-songwriter KATE NASH, winner of the 2008 Brit Award for Best Female Artist, whose 2010 released album ‘My Best Friend is You’ entered the charts at number 8. BIFFY CLYRO, CHASE & STATUS (Live), PROFESSOR GREEN, TINIE TEMPAH, CALVIN HARRIS (Dj Set) are all confirmed for what is set to be the biggest Jersey Live FEstival to date!!
In addition to acts already announced, for the Dance Arena (Calvin Harris, Subfocus, Jaguar Skills, Drums of Death, Foamo, DJ Rafik and Rico Tubbs), Jersey Live can also confirm that the engrossing French dance duo Teenage Bad Girl will play on Saturday 4th September. The Paris-based act, comprised of electro-house producers Guillaume Manbell and Greg Kazubski, have been compared to the likes of Daft Punk and Justice, and have a growing reputation for action-packed live sets.
Other acts include London-based indie five-piece Chapel Club. With an ever-growing fan base, they have received rave reviews for their darkly atmospheric rock, and have been compared to bands such as Pink Floyd, Editors and White Lies. Jersey Live caps a busy festival season for them, with appearances at Glastonbury and T in the Park already lined up. Among the latest new additions are New Yorker Darwin Deez, whose lo-fi pop rock has won him a loyal following on both sides of the Atlantic, he is also part of the NME Radar Tour in the UK. Breakthrough psychedelic alt-folk acts are also confirmed for the Jersey Live bill; Muchuu from UK and Brooklyn-based Here We Go Magic. Both play in the Les Inrocks-hosted MAGIC tent, alongside French outfit Cabadzi, who bend folk, prog rock and hip-hop influences. The band were spotted by Jersey Live organisers Warren Holt and Warren Le Sueur at French music festival Printemps de Bourges, and their unique and quirky live show was enough to convince them to sign the act up.
