Hot off the press comes the announcement of a brand-spanking-new festival for all you party animals out there!

Called the Knowsley Hall Music Festival, the two-day rock festival, to be held on a beautiful Liverpool country estate, is the newest addition to an already impressive British summer festival lineup.

Here’s what organisers had to say:

Set in 2500 acres of stunning, landscaped parkland and as ancestral home to the Earls of Derby since 1385 the stage is most definitely set for the first ever KNOWSLEY HALL MUSIC FESTIVAL and one of the most breathtakingly beautiful events ever to hit the North West of England.

Created and developed by the award winning team behind Creamfields and Rockness and the production team behind Bestival and Freedom Rocks, this two day, premier event is destined a phenomenal addition to the festival circuit.

Rock legends The Who and stadium sell-outs Keane will be headlining the festival, which takes place on the 23rd and 24th of June 2007.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Monday 12th February (that’s next week). Weekend ticket price: £70+BF. This is not a camping festival, so you’ll need to find accommodation nearby.
