I know some of the people that run it, so will be working there this year. According to friends who've been before the site is gorgeous and there's a great atmosphere. Some good acts but electronic music isn't the mainstay of the line-up so I guess it depends what you're after... I'm excited though!

Dude

Tell me more i live in Javea and would love to go. I own Taurus Music so i could put up some adverts or something.

I´ve taken this off a thread on the efestivals forum:

ROCKET FESTIVAL - Spain - 2008

Couldn't see a thread for this yet, so thought i'd start one...

Went to rocket 2006, because some friends went in 2005 and rated it very highly - I wasn't at all disappointed.

I know lots of festi's describe themselves as 'diverse' and 'eclectic', but Rocket actually seems to have pulled it off - crazy walkabout performances and shows, cinema, various bars, cabaret, big stages with impressive soundsystems, tasty wholesome food, fire shows, little themed areas, circus stuff, kids area, healing, skate park, loads of bizarre sculpture and art etc. It hasn't been going that long, so for a young festival I was surprised to see how professional it was. For a start there were big name acts, but also decent facilities and a generally well run site. The web site says they've been up to this sort of stuff for years, so I guess they must have all the contacts. They definitely know how to throw a good party!

Was also surprised that it somehow managed to accommodate all sorts of people (not too tame or too messy).
Its for sure one of the best festivals ive been to.

I was totally gutted when I found out it wasn't happening last year, but apparently the break allowed them to put more effort in to this year, so that can't be bad. As i've been gagging for it since 2006, I checked out the line up ( www.rocketfestival.com ). Its looking awesome already, which is a good sign as its still months away. Acts i'm excited about are - COLDCUT, THE NEXTMEN, PENDULUM, BAD MANNERS, JFB+BEARDYMAN (scratch champion+beatbox champion do), BABYHEAD, EVIL NINE - but there are more too. There's also a full run down at www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/rocketfestival/2008 and they have a myspace www.myspace.com/rocketfestivalspain

Oh, and one more thing, don't forget you get to leave Britain in May when its still windy wet cold and nasty, to go to a stunning mountain top in the south of Spain where its gloriously sunny, the wine is super cheap and you dont need your wellies. So its blatantly a holiday as well as a festival!

Looks wicked eh!!???
