Seventies Irish punk power pop band The Undertones, will be bringing 'Teenage Kicks' to the festival, held at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent from Friday 19th until Sunday 21st of June.

Klaus Says Buy The Record, Archie Bronson Outfit, and White Rose Movement, complete the first acts announced for the event which hopes to raise raise money for endangered animals.

The festival is not associated with last year's ZooThousand festival, it just happens to be utilising the same site.

£5 from every weekend ticket sold, and 50 per cent of the profits from the festival will go to the charity. A fundraising target of £100,000 has been set for 2009, with the festival hoping to help donate £1,000,000 for some of the world's most at risk animals in five years. Red List LIVE will also help raise awareness of the endeavours of the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species which is widely recognised as the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species.
