Rhythm Festival 2010 heading for sell-out
Neil Innes (The Rutles), The Dualers and more for Rhythm Festival plus (almost) full line-up and last 1,500 weekend tickets left.
Rhythm Festival have confirmed that less than 1,500 weekend tickets remain and that the Vegas camping field has now sold out.
Added to the bill are British musical-comedy icon Neil Innes (of Bonzo Dog, Rutles and Monty Python fame), who will perform a solo slot in the Marquee Stage on Saturday and south London ska phenomenon The Dualers, who are added to the Main Stage on Sunday.
Other new additions to the bill include Gary Fletcher (from The Blues Band) and Mick Thomas & Michael Barclay (Weddings, Parties, Anything) from Australia who both play the Marquee Stage.
The full schedule is available to view at http://www.rhythmfestival.net/artists.html

Best Value Festival
Because Rhythm Festival allows every adult weekend ticket-holder to bring a child (under 17 year-old) for free; the cost is amongst the lowest of any festival. A family of four (2 adults, 2 youths/ children under 17) can get weekend tickets for just £190 – from £215 with camping.
Held in the gorgeous Bedfordshire countryside – yet less than four miles from Bedford town centre and railway station – Rhythm Festival takes place at Twinwood Arena, a 'semi-permanent' festival site that includes flush toilets (augmented by portaloos), and proper roads and paths. The arena is a drained grass-covered ampitheatre, with a backdrop of ancient woodland.
