Looe Music Festival 2012 has landed and there’s not a muddy, wet, overcrowded festival field in sight

So, what else is new for Looe Music Festival 2012?
- Well, the new festival website is looking fabulous.
- Rumours are rife about this year’s headline acts so I expect them to be big names.
- There’s a a Mini Music Festival coming up (sold out) and it seems like half the town has already succumbed to ‘Festival Fever’ – it’s a lovely thing to see.
- New T-shirts and other items will be on sale.
- Money raising events, quizzes and competitions are being held all the time.
- The festival is now a registered charity, no. 1146140.
- There is an amazing array of motivated and enthusiastic sponsors backing the event including the Adrenalin Quarry, Skinners, Crantocks and St Austell Brewery.
Basically, it looks like 2012 is going to be bigger and better than last year.

Music venues and festival stages
Last year a few gallant volunteers in our little Cornish fishing town decided to host a music festival.
We all expected it to be a small affair with a few ‘fringe’ venues around Looe and maybe a stage on the seafront. Little did we know that the organisers were one hot team of dedicated individuals who knew a thing or two about hosting a party – there were stages everywhere!
The largest stage was on the seafront. It was huge and for the first year of a new festival it was something quite spectacular. This year the main stage is again on the beach and is called the Adrenalin Stage due the incredibly generous sponsorship from the Adrenalin Quarry.
The next major stage is on East Looe Quay in the harbour car park. You can’t miss either of them and anyone will be able to tell you where both are when you get here.
Finally there are the pub venues. I will add details of these as soon as they have been released.
Stay in touch via Twitter or Facebook for the latest details and announcements.
Dates & times
This year’s festival runs from the 21st to the 23rd of September 2012
There will be music playing throughout the day somewhere in Looe and if there isn’t then you can chill on the beach or enjoy a drink or bite to eat one of our wonderful Cornish pubs and restaurants.
As soon as I know the running schedule I will post it here.
Stay in touch via Twitter or Facebook for the latest details and announcements.
