5 of the best... MiniFest Special!

Keen followers of the ‘5 of the best’ series would have noticed that we’ve not released the 5 of the best for June… and that is for a very good reason. We’ve got some huge news about our MiniFest - so we thought we’d dedicate a whole blog to it!

Our smash-hit summer festivals are back this June and July, set to be bigger and better than ever before. They are the perfect chance for you to let your hair down, celebrate finishing your exams, and start the summer in style.

Here we count down the 5 best things about ESC MiniFest 2019...

5 - They are FREE

All three of our festivals are completely free! All you need to do is visit our MiniFest page, then click through to our Eventbrite page to register for your ticket! What’s not to love about a free festival?

4 - There are THREE of them

This year we’ve put on an extra date and venue to give you three times the fun. Join us in Eastbourne on Wednesday 26th June, in Lewes on 4th July, and in Hastings on 11th July. The question is, can you handle three festivals?

3 - There will be free food

Our festival ticket also gets you some free food and drink. We’ll give you a voucher at the gate which means you’ll be able to redeem it for a burger or hot dog, and a soft drink. There will be plenty of other stalls where you will be able to get popcorn, candy floss and soft drinks.

2 - Tonnes of festival activities

Along with our stellar music line-up (which we will come onto in just a second), we’ve got plenty of festival fun happening. Challenge your mates to a game of Last Man Standing, hop in a giant inflatable bubble and zorb on water, win some prizes on our funfair stalls, learn to sing during a vocal coach workshop, and get your glitter on in our festival hair and make-up tent.

1 - A cracking line up

Now for the big reveal… No music festival is complete without music acts. Playing for us at this year’s festivals, we’re excited to announce:

Jack Maynard will be taking to the stage for an exclusive DJ set. The YouTube sensation will be joining us in Lewes on 4th July and on Hastings Pier on 11th July.

X Factor star, Amelia Lily will be performing her smash hits at the Eastbourne festival on 26th June and joining us again in Lewes on 4th July.

Last year’s Love Island stars, Sam Bird and Adam Collard, will be headlining our Eastbourne festival. Fresh from remixing Example’s ‘All Night’, Sam and Adam will be bringing their summer party anthems to the sunshine coast.

Also performing live will be former Ministry of Sound DJ, Mike Sherwood, and Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent 2019 winner, Marie White, Vocal coach Atlanta Hurley, and college favourite, Morgan James.
