Line-ups, news and updates for Sunrise Celebration 2011




When:  2nd - 5th June, 2011
Where: South Somerset
How much: £108 adult in advance, £130 on the gate

Sunrise are back for another year of their extraordinary project, with a new organic campsite in the west country. This is the definitive hippie festival: ethically and environmentally sound, designed to have no impact on its surroundings, and blessed with an incredible ethos of love for the planet and each other. Yurts, lectures, stone healing, astrological dating, gadjo drumming circles, healing sanctuaries, fire poi classes… this place is a hippie paradise sustained by love. Believe!

And back in 2008 the event was blighted by a monumental flood, with ticket holders rescued by the Guardian-readers mini-break festival of convenience, The Big Chill. But apparently the 'Sunrise Zone' was 'the best bit' of the Big Chill. Believe!

Cynicism aside, the 2007 festival was unbelievably good and the hippie crowd here definitely add to the vibe. This is a loving, sharing environment and inspires thoughts and feelings above and beyond your typical chill-out tent. The musicians are also great, with an array of world music, folk, reggae, dub, ska and dubstep. And of course, psy trance.

What's wrong with dreaming of a better world? Nothing, and Sunrise is the place to do it. Believe!
