The 500 festival 2012

The 500 festival takes place on Saturday 6th October moving from Devon to Village Underground, in Shoreditch. The festival is inspired by what people used to love about festivals, the ideals of creativity, freedom and most importantly creating a sense of community between festival goers. They also have a green conscience and run the entire festival from solar power.

Line-up

Zero 7 (DJ Set), Starsmith, Eddy Temple Morris, Sylver Tongue, Lonsdale Boys Club, Transformer, Wildeflower, Us Baby Bear Bones, Blue Lip Feel, Demob Happy, Maker, Shake Tiger Shake, and Barricades.

Alongside the music line-up there's an abundance of activities for you to choose from including leek fighting, flap the fish, limbo, or the Graffiti hour on The 500 wall display. Fully stocked bars and a variety of food will be available throughout the festival.

The festival, by design, smaller than the average. As the name suggests The 500 is a collective of 500 people that make up the festival community. However, unlike other festivals this community includes, staff, bands and artists and festival goers.

Accommodation

This event does not have camping but there are a number of hotels, hostels and guest houses in the area.

More details will be here when available.
