The Rocket Festival is a celebration of life and alternative culture. A meeting of minds for fun and music in a beautiful, rural and sun drenched site in the south of Spain.

With the experience of two previous festivals in mind the Rocket Festival 2008 will be way, way, WAY the best ever! We are delighted to announce that two of Spains most exciting live bands, Muchachito Bombo Infierno have been booked for the main stage. For those of you unfamiliar with Spanish music there is no better introduction. If dance music is your thing look no further than Coldcut, the godfathers of the modern style with their brain-tingling audio-visual jamboree and Pendulum, the foremost drum and bass act on the planet flexing the low-frequency muscle of the huge stacks of bass bins in the dance tent.

Saturday is the day to step into a new life on an unexplored world as the whole festival dresses up in a Space theme. The action will center around the Cantina Galactica where the stellar customs are as tight as their uniforms and unexplained alien abductions will leave you amazed.

The Invisible Circus and InterStella productions present Teatro de La libertad a colourful plethora of artists,aerialists,street performers,acrobats,clowns, side shows, ground breakers,ice breakers,jaw droppers,edge cutters , side splitters and so much more.

Rest assured the Rocket Festival in May 2008 will be a cavalcade of riotous music, sun-drenched fun and hedonism like no other!

Kick start your summer with music in the sunshine at the Rocket Festival in 2008.

New Booking - Adam Freeland

We're very pleased to announce that Adam Freeland has been confirmed for a Saturday night slot in the Dance tent at Rocket sharing the dizzy heights of the bill with Pendulum and old friends Evil Nine.

Adam is one of the best known and versatile DJs from the breaks scene, he has played to rapturous crowds all over the world in recent years and is currently on tour in the US. He is the founder of seminal imprint Marine Parade who boast Rocket favourites Evil Nine amongst their artists, the label named after the seafront road in Brighton where Adam produced some of his best loved music.

"One of our favourite moments from a decade of Brighton free parties on the downs with Innerfield Soundsystem was listening to Adam, Tom (Evil Nine) and Pete B sharing the decks on a summer Sunday morning with a backdrop of grassy hills and the English channel. I'm delighted to be able to transpose that atmosphere to the beautiful hills of Andalucia and amplify it in the spectacular Dance Tent in our very own festival!" - Marcus Clements, Production Director
