Jersey Live Music Festival (alternatively Jersey Live) is a music festival held annually at The Royal Jersey Showground in the parish of Trinity, Jersey since 2004. Tickets for the performance are sold on the Jersey Live official website, and discounted tickets sites such as Viagogo 〔http://www.viagogo.co.uk/Festival-Tickets/UK-Festivals/Jersey-Live-Tickets〕 == Overview == The brainchild of local promoter/DJs Warren Holt and Warren Le Sueur, who were inspired by annual visits to Glastonbury Festival, Jersey Live started out as a 4,000-capacity, one-day event in 2004 with music across two stages. The festival now takes place over two days and has grown in size each year, with six stages featuring live music, DJs and as of 2013, comedy and spoken word. Jersey Live now has capacity for an attendance of 10,000 people per day, selling out at that capacity for the first time in 2010. The organisers have expressed a desire to expand the capacity, and include on-site camping. The festival has been sponsored each year by local telecommunications company JT, who host the JT Stage at the festival. The other five stages are the Main Stage, Dance Stage, Family Field Stage, Hospitality Stage and Full Flow Locale DJ Tent. The festival has featured performances from a number of major stars of indie and dance music since 2004 including Paul Weller, The Prodigy, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal and Chase & Status. The festival's line up is typically composed of established mainstream indie and dance acts on the Main and Dance stages, with up-and-coming artists of a wide range of genres spanning folk, hip-hop, punk, ska and reggae, as well as a number of local acts, making up the lineup elsewhere at the festival. Amongst the artists to have performed at Jersey Live in the early stages of their careers before going on to become considerably higher in profile, are Foals, Tinie Tempah, Jake Bugg, Ed Sheeran and Razorlight. Jersey Live has been described as "Surreal, sexy and super cool" by Kasbian's Tom Meighan, as having "more pulling power than any other small festival" by BBC Radio 1's Edith Bowman. Bowman, along with Zane Lowe, hosted the Main Stage in 2006 and has been followed in subsequent years by Huw Stephens, Craig Charles and Mani of The Stone Roses, who have all acted as Main Stage compere at the festival. Jersey Live is attended by locals and visitors to the island, with non-locals accounting for a quarter of the attendance. Set in the rural heart of the island of Jersey, Channel Islands, only 14 miles from the coast of France, Jersey Live is the British Isles' sunniest and most southerly festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jersey Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
