Dan Hurring, co-founder of the festival said, "We are really excited to have found such a beautiful location for Sunrise. It ticks all the boxes for us, its on higher ground, with trees and spring water, the farm is organic and the farmer is great. We wanted to find somewhere to hold our event that adheres to the same green principles we hold, and somewhere that is less vulnerable to the weather and this is it."

Tickets for the event have also gone on sale today and an adult ticket is priced at £99, children tickets (5-15 years old inclusive) are priced at £21.50, with family tickets (2 Adults, 2 Children) £229. For a very limited time, kids, teens, campers, and car tickets will be at 2008 prices.

This year's sell-out event was struck by disaster when freak weather conditions and flash flooding of the old site near Yeovil, caused the event to be called off only hours after it was due to open. With the help of The Big Chill, Sunrise was held in August instead of June, within the grounds of Eastnor Castle.

"The events of this year have not put us off, infact they have inspired us further to become self sufficient and continue to produce our event within the context of the potential weather conditions, and guarantee we can produce an event no matter what! We have lots of exciting new ideas to incorporate this year and have learned a lot." Says Dan Hurring.

Sunrise 2009 is expected to be the usual exciting blend of creativity, ecology and music with some new additions, and hopes to be greener than ever before. Purchasers are encouraged to buy tickets early as last year's event sold out.

There will be an official launch party in Bristol on Friday 21st November at the Trinity Centre, Bristol from 9pm-late, to which all 2009 ticket holders will have automatic free entry. Headlined by Smith and Mighty with Lazy Habits and Undercover Hippy and more acts to be confirmed, tickets for sale at Bristol Ticket Shop.

Sunrise Celebration features all aspects of alternative culture, and is continually committed to sustainability with an eclectic blend of dub, world, ska, electronica, dub-step, psy trance, breaks, reggae, folk, Balkan beats and all manner of stompingly good tunes from rising stars, established favourites and surprise collaborations.

Expect 12 stages in 13 arenas providing 24 hour entertainment from more than 200 live bands and 100 DJs, with shows, workshops, forums, dressing up debauchery, installations, and all manner of creative expression, all over 4 days.
