posted by B'ESTFEST on 08 May 2008
Offered by Clicknet, the main sponsor of the event, and supported by the co-sponsors Heineken Music, Dacia and Rompetrol, the B’ESTFEST 2008 festival will take place this year on 4, 5, 6 and 11 of July (AFTERSHOCK), on Romexpo grounds. Organised by Emag!c Entertainment, the festival will be take place this year on approximately 40.000 square meters surface, where there is expected a number of 75.000 - 85.000 of people during the four days.
Among the artists announced so far to appear on the festival’s poster are Alanis Morissette, Cypress Hill, UNKLE, Kaiser Chiefs, Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Nelly Furtado, Manu Chao, Roisin Murphy (Moloko), Sunrise Avenue, Judas Priest, Primal Fear and many more.
The first edition of the festival (called B’ESTIVAL 2007) – with a 30-artists’ line-up – benefited of the participation of over 50.000 of viewers during three days of music. The last year’s success attired the attention of both international press and the most important music associations in Europe. At the beginning of 2008, B’ESTFEST was invited to become a member of Yourope community, association that numbers 40 of the most appreciated European festivals (among which Exit in Serbia, Lowlands in Holland, Nova Rock in Austria, Rock Werchter in Belgium, Oxegen in Irland or T in the Park in Scotland). B’ESTFEST is also part of ETEP (European Talent Exchange Program), which deals with promoting of young European artists within top international festivals.
B’ESTFEST extended this year both in surface (10.000 square meters more) and in duration, adding to its program a special day dedicated to the rock fans – B’ESTFEST AFTERSHOCK, on 11 of July. During four days over 35 artists and bands from 12 countries will perform on the four stages of the festival. In comparison with last year B’ESTFEST 2008 will have a new stage in Parking B of Romexpo grounds, where the artists will perform simultaneously with the artists performing on the other stages. Twenty load-in and load-out days will be needed for the four days of festival, as well as 800 hotel nighs, 50 limos and 10 buses, 750 technical people and for the 48 hours of music will “work” 250 musicians and 350 people from the artists staff. This year’s edition budget grew to aprox. 3.000.000 Euros (with 30% more than last year), two thirds being dedicated to the costs related to artists.
Along with the 22 names announced so far for the B’ESTFEST line-up, on the festival’s poster 10 more confirmations are added: E.M.I.L., Veritasaga, The MOOoD, Dekadens and Aron (Romania), Shangri La (Bulgaria) and Santogold (SUA), Neo (Ungaria), respectivelly Thunderstorm (Romania) and Wisdom (Ungaria) at AFTERSHOCK. The Silent Disco area will be present this year as well, having a few of the best DJs of Holland at the deck: Mark Norman, Cor Fijneman and Lemon8.
