From Friday 01 December Vantastival will be accepting applications from musicians hoping to play the 2012 festival. Interested acts should email info@vantastival.com with the name of the band or artist in the subject line. The email must contain a link where the judging panel can listen to a minimum of three tracks. Artists should not send mp3 tracks attached to their email. Vantastival will take applications until 16 January.
Vantastival accepts submissions from all acts who write their own original music, as well as traditional groups, and the festival prides itself on showcasing the finest up-and-coming unsigned Irish acts. Covers bands will not be considered. Previous years have seen rising talent such as O Emperor, The Ambience Affair, The Riptide Movement and We Cut Corners take to the stage, while headliners have included Jack L, Alabama 3, Whipping Boy, Duke Special and Kila to name a few.
In its first two years Vantastival has announced itself confidently on the Irish festival scene. With rave reviews under its belt, the festival will move from Dunany Estate to Bellurgan Park, Co. Louth, in 2012. The new venue is an estate of extraordinary natural beauty just off the M1 motorway north of Dundalk. Vantastival is a celebration of campervan culture and a top class music festival rolled into one. Three stages of live music and entertainment host nearly 70 acts over the course of the weekend, while a range of activities focusing on the campervan lifestyle make it the only festival of its kind in Ireland.
Tickets are €89 for three nights camping and a limited number of special offer Christmas tickets at €60 will be available from the website in December.
