Okay there may be a few balloons lifting off at the 25th birthday
Bristol Balloon Fiesta this year - but what about the music?
Each year the event's concert attracts even more stars and bigger
crowds - and this year the fun isn't just confined to one day. |
| Busted
were a big hit at last year's fiesta - and are back to entertain
the crowds this year. |

The
organisers have decided to treat the crowds to what looks set
to be a bumper silver anniversary event, with the return visit
on Thursday of boy band Busted, who were a great success at
the festival last year, along with fellow returnees Blazin'
Squad.
Thursday

the Thursday concert, which begins at 2pm and lasts through
to 9pm when the glow begins, includes the following:

Crawford.
Then there's Fame Academy favourites: Bristol's own Katie Lewis
and Lemar, along with Jennifer Ellison, Kristen, Louise Redknapp,
Jason Nevins / Holly James, Chesney Hawkes and Javine.
Then there's the feminine power of Girls Aloud, those Transylvanian
Cheeky Girls, Lisa Scott Lee and Maria Wilson.
