KT TUNSTALL HEADLINES
FRIDAY NIGHT We're thrilled to announce Friday's headliner is Scottish singer/songwriter, KT Tunstall who will be the first female to headline a night at Beautiful Days. KT is making a brief stop here in Devon as she prepares to follow up the stunning 'Eye To The Telescope' album with her latest collection, 'Drastic Fantastic'. Tunstall has taken a string of gongs, including Brit and Q awards and even a prestigious Ivor Novello award for her song, 'Suddenly I See' and has sold over 2 million albums in the UK alone.
For all her lyrical and musical abilities, it's as a live performer that she excels. Her virtuoso use of a foot pedal recorder has become one her most widely-known trademarks, while her band's tight musicality highlight's the artist's gutsy performances, with a foot in folk, roots and blues.
KT joins an already huge line-up of acts including Gogol Bordello, Levellers, Bill Bailey, Afro Celt Soundsystem, New Modely Army, Willy Mason, Show of Hands and Easy Star All Stars to name but a few! For the full running order go to the festival website www.beautifuldays.org
CAR PARKING & GATE TIMES
If you are one of the lucky people who have tickets to this year's festival then please make sure you have read the FAQ's and travel page on www.beautifuldays.org.
If you haven't purchased a car parking ticket (routing sticker) then please go to the SHOP section on www.levellers.co.uk and buy in advance. You will be charged £10 on the gate if you haven't bought in advance.
The routing stickers should be displayed 5 miles from the festival site and will allow festival staff and traffic police to guide you on to the festival site and parked. It will make your entry to the festival much easier and quicker if you have the routing sticker in advance!
Gates are open for entry Friday 9am - 9pm, Saturday & Sunday 10am - 9pm. The festival is not open for entry on Thursday.
SUNDAY NIGHT - HATS & WIGS
Last year, Sunday night was a sea of amazing masks and fantastic costumes. This year we want to see a sea of HATS AND WIGS! Whatever you are planning on wearing on Sunday night please add a WIG, HAT or some form of HEADGEAR - any size, shape, colour or design....your choice! Stalls will be selling hats and wigs throughout the weekend and there will be workshops for kids (and adults) to make their own. We've already seen some amazing creations and the bands are getting involved too. Please post pics and suggestions on the festival message boards of what you're planning to wear!
