Gearing up for Tribfest
TAKE That fans who missed out during the recent stampede for ticket sales to the 2011 tour still have the opportunity to hear their songs in 2011 – in a field near Beverley.
‘Back for Good’, the country’s leading Take That tribute act, will be headlining the Saturday evening slot of the 2011 Tribfest festival and performing a range of classics to thousands of local festival-goers at the Beverley Polo Club in Tickton.
This year’s festival is held between August 19 and 21, and the festival will be launched with a performance by 15-year-old Liam Mcnally, a “Britain’s got Talent” finalist last year.
Already, more tickets have been sold for this year’s event than at the same time last year. The first event attracted 700 people to Driffield in 2007 and next year’s festival should reach 5,000 music fans for a three-day event of top quality tribute artists, comedy and dance.
Ed Faulkner (festival director) said: “Each year more festival-goers are attending which allows us to make Tribfest bigger and better each year with lots more to do within the main arena.
“The main stage, although a key element of the event, is not the only attraction, with folk marquee, unsigned marquee, Interactive Kidszone, VIP marquee, dance tent, silent disco, karaoke marquee, food and retail stands with over 80 bands performing this year and lots of added attractions for the kids, it promises to be the best yet.”
The event has attracted increasing audiences and many plaudits over the past four years and the Take That tribute act is just one of the many quality acts which should make Tribfest 2011 the best one yet.
There will be over 40 tribute acts performing over the weekend across the main stage and VIP marquee, including a range of new performers and festival favourites such as Kazabian and Badness.
