Across Britain festivals of various different shapes and sizes set up shop during the summer to present the very best in music and other acts to festival-goers nationwide. This could take the form of enormous events like the Reading Festival or smaller, more intimate affairs such as Serpentine Sessions.
Whatever event audiences choose to go to they are likely to base their decisions either on past experiences, the advice of friends or because they have found an event that caters to their specific tastes – and with a rich diversity of events on offer there are festival tickets for everyone. Even those at locations such as the Isle of Wight can get in on the action with the Isle of Wight Festival, whilst audiences on the Isle of Man can enjoy Mannifest.
Mannifest first opened its gates to the public in 2009 and was a positive experience for those that arrived at the site in Douglas and the consequences of this was the promise of an even bigger and better organised event in 2010. Drafting in the best organisers in town, plus bands from the international scene and at home in the Isle of Man, the show would become enormously anticipated as the three-day festival drew closer.
In 2009 various acts took to the stage and amongst them were names such as Easy Star All Stars, Kosheen and Head Gardener amongst the likes of Planes Over Paris and Helen Morrison from the Isle of Man. With plenty of other things to see and do it is no wonder that it prides itself as one of the best things happening on the Isle of Man and as a result of this anticipation was high for 2010. But audiences were not disappointed as the line-up was revealed featuring Alabama 3, Pigs on the Wing, David Ford, Anna Goldsmith, Very Very Bad Men and others. In addition to these audiences were also promised the usual array of entertainment on display, with DJs and films amongst the line-up, making it one of the best family-based events around
And so the Mannifest Festival is likely to thrive well into the new decade as it continues to attract audiences on the Island and from the UK mainland alike, with audiences flocking to pick up festival tickets and witness the event take shape. If you, like many others, wish to witness one of the best music and entertainment events on the Isle of Man, look no further than Mannifest.
After all, the UK is full of some of the most renowned and talked-about festivals around and this should not simply be restricted to England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. With the Isle of Man’s Mannifest there is yet another event on the calendar that adds to the abundance of choice already on offer. So make sure you are first in line.
