During March we asked YOU our wonderful supporters to back Alt-Fest via Kickstarter.com so we could raise £30,000 towards booking our headline acts. Not only did we smash this and achieve 205% of target BUT we also raised a staggering £61,762. We asked our backers who pledged their support on Kickstarter to suggest their top 5 most wanted headliners.
As we are crowd led we now give you the top 50 bands requested from our backers via Kickstarter as potential bands for us to book for you to headline Alt-Fest. Some of these acts may not be available, may have other tour plans or festival dates already booked. We have already excluded those bands that we have already approached who are unavailable. Those available at the time of booking we will do our level best to book for YOU based on the final results of the poll below.
We know some people don't like polls/surveys, particularly other promoters. We at Alt-Fest are different and we believe festivals should be run for the fans and not for the promoters and that the peoples input should be and is critical. As we are the worlds first crowd led festival we believe in polling YOU, as your input and your say on the line-ups is key to our ethos. We answer to you and not to a board of directors or a group of shareholders. YOUR FESTIVAL, YOUR LINE-UPS, YOUR SAY!
