The Cribs, Hadouken! For New Festival

The Cribs, British Sea Power and Hadouken! are amongst the acts confirmed a brand spanking new festival this summer.

The inaugural Zoo Thousand is being held at Port Lymphe Wild Animal Park from July 4-6 and already boasts an impressive line-up.

Also confirmed are the likes of The Young Knives, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, The Rumble Strips, Funeral For A Friend, The Rascals, Lethal Bizzle, Roni Size, The Mitchell Brothers, The Metros and The Whip.

Those who buy tickets to the event will be able to visit the animal park itself for a reduced price, while an amount of proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the charity The Aspinall Foundation.

Zoo Thousand Director Matt Dice said of the event: “It has been a real triumph for us to secure such great artists for the first Zoo Thousand music festival.

“We look forward to welcoming the best names in live music to our beautiful site at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park for a weekend of fun.”
