Get your hands on Festival Times

BBC Essex Introducing... Festival Times

NME has 40,000 copies weekly distributed across the UK. Festival Times, based in Southend will be getting 100,000 copies every other week to 10 major music festivals across the UK.

Festival Times...

Download in Donnington Park; V Festival on our doorstep at Hylands Park, Chelmsford; Glastonbury down in the West Country; Global Gathering and others across the whole summer will be entertaining hundreds of thousands of music fans bringing them together with a passion for music - Festival Times has wised onto this.

Simon from Southend and his crack team of journalists, photographers and graphic designers will be distributing 100,000 copies to every one of the 10 festivals across summer (a total of 1.1million copies), entirely for free and containing interviews with the headliners, competitions and a section devoted to new music.

Having won an Essex business award for a previous venture in online ticket sales Simon is definitely not short of experience to take the festivals by storm this year, with a team of people giving out the new mag to the masses.

With plans to expand in future years the official launch will take place on Friday, 5, June at the Punk Club, London.
