Wild in the Country is over 18 fun-filled hours, six stunningly decorated, marquee’d arenas and a main outdoor stage that will play host to an exciting, diverse collection of artistes. Lose yourself in the Enchanted Wood; take a ride on the Victorian Fun Fair; enjoy a surreal trip to the Twisted Tearooms; relax in the giant, chill-out tipi and discover many more surprises and delights along the way…

Pulling out all of the stops for 2008, Wild in the Country announced last month that Bjork will headline this year’s event. It will be her only UK festival appearance in the whole of 2008. Now, Wild in the Country proudly releases its second wave of exciting festival information.

The legendary Danny Tenaglia has confirmed his appearance at Wild in the Country. This is his first UK festival for 6 years. Also on the DJ billing is the unsurpassable Carl Craig. Richie Hawtin will be bringing his techno vibe to Knebworth for the day with his own Minus arena. And Soulwax will be headlining their very own tent. Festival veterans Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz of Faithless will also be teaming up for a rare joint DJ set.

Hot news on the live aspect of the festival is Hercules & Love Affair; H&LA have had a brilliant year so far with their super-successful disco-infused single `Blind’ and their self-titled long-player. While everyone’s favourite faux South American’s, The Cuban Brothers, will be on hand for jaunts of the Cuban kind.

Wild in the Country prides itself on being a carefully programmed event, focusing on the quality and fluidity of the acts rather than an endless realm of bands and DJs that is impossible to navigate during one festival. This ethos is carried through every aspect of the weekend, offering the best custom built facilities from quality food to fancy dress, there will even be an army of toilet attendants; toilets are never a nice issue at live events but WITC aims to keep them nicer.

Interesting food is a huge part of the great festival experience, no longer will a tasteless burger and a cheap fizzy drink satisfy today’s festival goer. WITC will provide quality, variety and locally produced meals and snacks from a range of colourful and beautifully put together multi-cultural food stalls. You will be amazed at the cuisine produced in a field! There is also an extensive market filled with quirky all-weather stalls perfect for any festival oddities and eventuality.
