GUILFEST INFORMATION

GuilFest Guilfest 2006 Main Stage
This is the largest stage; sponsored by BBC Radio 2 and more than often graced by the typical Radio 2 acts that fill the stations airwaves. In the last few years acts like Madness, Aha, Status Quo, UB40 and The Pogues have all performed on this stage.
2nd Stage
What used to be known as The Uncut stage is now the Ents24 stage, which is an inflatable stage that’s smaller than the main stage and has a considerably weaker sound system. The stage often features a few obscure acts as well as some more household names and has hosted Blackbud, The Beta Band, Hayseed Dixie and Simple Kid in recent years.
Rock Sound Cave
This is usually the place where the younger members of Guilfest congregate. In 2006 this stage had the headliners Therapy, INME, and Sixth – although unfortunately INME had to pull out. At night the tent is transformed into a silent disco.
The Funky End Tent
Organised by The Funky End in Aldershot, The Funky End Tent is the place to check out Guilfest’s DJ’s and dance away. There’s always a crowd here – even in the scorching heat and it’s positioned within easy access of a bar.
The Live Club Stages
The LiveClub now has two separate stages. Both are geared to giving new artists the chance to play to the festival crowds. The Surrey Advertiser stage focuses on local acts whereas the Andertons stage gathers together a collection of new talent from across the UK.
