Remember Homelands? Remember the old adage about not fixing things which aren't broken? Well, somebody forgot it. This year Homelands has been replaced by a new two-centre festival call Hi:Fi. Hi:Fi North is.. err.. somewhere up north. Hi:Fi South takes the late May weekend slot at the Matterley Bowl.
From the looks of things it's very similar to Homelands with the addition of a live stage to accompany the selection of dance arenas (though the blurb on the website says it's a "genre defying collection of both live and DJ talent" which "will change the musical boundaries of festivals forever". Which is nice.
The line-up for the live stage at Hi:Fi South is as follows:
Sat 27th May
Hard-Fi
Super Furry Animals
The Go! Team
+ more TBA
Sun 28th May
Ian Brown
The Subways
Brakes
+ more TBA
There are also several dance arenas (Godskitchen, Polysexual & Slinky and the Electric Arena) as well as a Radio Soulwax Presents tent. Full line-up information can be found on the Hi:Fi South website.
Tickets for the weekend are £99 for the weekend, with day tickets available at £54.50 (both plus booking fee). VIP tickets are also available.
More information can be found at the official website or from the local BBC Entertainment site.
