Congratulations to Karl Philips & The Midnight Ramblers! It was tough call here at Festinho HQ, but of the three top-voted acts, they were the ones we felt were a best fit with what our crowd will be wanting.

Come and see them perform on Sunday evening on the Main Stage!

We would like to extend our thanks to all the bands and performers who entered. It was genuinely a really high standard and we wish you all the best in the future. And thanks also to everyone who voted.

There's still time to book your spot in the SoulPad Village!

You'll arrive to a ready-pitched bell tent in a prime location, and you even get to take it home at the end of the weekend - perfect for those who want to camp in style at Festinho.

To book your SoulPad, go to http://soulpad.co.uk and click on 'SoulPad village bookings'. The deadline for bookings is 4pm on Monday 23rd August so get booking!

Here at Festinho HQ we want to look after our beautiful environment and that's why we have teamed up with Liftshare to bring you Festinho FestivalBUDi - linking passengers and drivers together to share the travel costs.
 
If you are seeking a lift or if you have to drive your car please try Festinho’s FestivalBUDi. If you have spare seats in your car and if you’re driving an average sized petrol car, having four people in it will bring your CO2 emissions per person to less than travelling by train! So it really does make a difference if fill up all the seats.

As always: Have fun, Do good!
