Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2011, this year’s Guilfest is shaping to be one of the best yet. With some of the best facilities and entertainment around, they boast artists of the stature of Roger Daltrey, Razorlight, and James Blunt over eight stages.
This is a great family festival too, with excellent communication links for both the day visitor and weekender alike. Set in scenic Stoke Park, a few minutes’ walk from Guildford centre, the festival offers something for all ages and musical interests. Guilfest appreciate that the ‘non-music’ elements of any festival are important, so expect some quality comedy, burlesque, and general madcap good fun to complement the musical vibe; and what a vibe. Daltrey will be performing the rock opera Tommy plus other Who classics, whilst James Blunt and Razorlight will once again be proving why they are such great festival headliners. With everything from Erasure, PIL, Echo & The Bunnymen, to Yasmin, Skindred, and Subsource across the stages, plus an excellent dance tent line-up, this should be one hell of a weekend.
As Guilfest organiser Ade Goldsmith told FFA recently:
“Given the unique characteristics of Guilfest we attract all ages and types of music lover. Our excellent transport links and location in Guilford means the younger festival goer can commute rather than have the worry and hassle of overnight camping etc, whilst families are well catered for; look at our first class kids zone for instance. Festivals are more than just music; the whole ‘non-music’ elements and infrastructure need to be right. We are always providing something fresh, like our theatre tent acts and Vintage Fayre this year.
We’ve music eight stages so we can satisfy everyone from the children to the grandparents. Roger Daltrey, our main stage headliner on Friday night, is generating huge interest from all elements of festival goers, and is one of the most talked about acts for many a year. The guy has universal appeal. This year we’ve introduced a Punk & Ska stage. We recognised the demand so we’ve addressed it with a dedicated stage. As with Daltrey, you’ll find something that appeals to everyone across the main stages, whilst we can also meet the needs of those that enjoy one particular type of music with a dedicated scene elsewhere. “
We couldn’t have put it better!
