  Infest Festival

  Aug 1998 - now

  Co-Organiser

  My hobby is to run a long-standing, niche weekend music festival every August Bank Holiday, which I started back in 1998 when I was studying at the University in Bradford. I currently manage the non-technical volunteer crew, traders, press, accommodation and ticket office. I work very closely with a professional tour manager who runs the artist bookings, technical production and hospitality side of the event.Infest is an Alternative electronic music event, showcasing genre-defining and well respected acts from the Industrial, EBM, Synthpop, Darkwave and Noise genres, from the 1980s to the present day. We have artists and customers travelling from as far as Canada, the USA and Australia, with the core of the acts being British, German, Belgian, and Scandinavian. Infest really brings people together!Our customers come to the show for the chance to see some very significant acts in the genre alongside new talent. They perform on a small but impeccably run stage, in intimate and friendly surroundings, with our respected production and hospitality values. Show less
