At the press conference last night, Festival Republic's Managing Director, Melvin Benn, announced that the wheels are in motion for the 2010 Hove Festival. At least two major headliners are confirmed and will hopefully be announced some time before Christmas.

The festival dates have been moved so that Hove will be in the same period as the Roskilde festival in Denmark. This is a great opportunity for Hove to attract some of the same artists as Roskilde, one of Europe's biggest and most well known festivals.

Festival passes will be available next Tuesday, 17th of November. All tickets will be sold at 2009 prices until 25th of December!

The first artists have been announced: English hardcore punkers Gallows, metalcore from As I Lay Dying and Every Time I Die, californian Atreyu, The Antlers, Japandroids and Norwegian act Kråkesølv were announced at the press conferance last night.

Many more bands will be confirmed in the next few weeks, so be sure to check in for updates on booking and lots more!
