This year the Endorse-It In-Dorset Festival have announced the theme for Sunday of this year's family friendly, old school vibe festival held over the weekend of Friday 8th to Sunday 10th August.

Endorse It have announced that the 10th August will be Psychobilly Sunday. Hosted by The Highliners, this will reflect the sounds of days of yore, when women wore skirts and so did the men. Bands featured will be the likes of old school rockers Luna Vegas, of course Endorse it lovelies-The Highliners and the legendary King Kurt. So put on your bestest frocks, dust off the stick-on quiff and kick those heels to some of the greatest music to come out of the 80's.

The line up which is by no means as yet complete, there's plenty more acts still to be announced. To whet your appetite for the line-up of who is playing so far, please click here. There's such festival flavoured names as Buzzcocks, Back To The Planet, Inner Terrestrials, Dreadzone, The Beat, Pronghorn, Goldblade, Subgiant, Cropdusters, Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs, Imperial Leisure, The Highliners, Fat Drunk & Stupid, Six Nation State, Arno Carstens, Steranko, and Optic Nerves.

The organisers have also announced a competition for guitar players coming to the festival - The AXE Factor and for those who don't play guitar, but want a chance to get on stage, back by popular demand is the Endorse-It Punk Karaoke, both events have a full band playing on stage.
