Oceanfest 2008, Croyde Bay, Devon, 20-22 June

Donavon Frankenreiter is headlining this summer’s Gold Coast Oceanfest. Bursting with surf, sun and sounds, it’s sure to be a scorcher.

With everything from beach volleyball, surf comps, skate demos, boutique shopping, and as many beers, fajitas and smoothies as you can devour; this is a weekend to ditch the shoes, get the sand between your toes and relax. Californian-born surfer Frankenreiter will take to the stage for the sundowner session of the festival, on the longest day of the year. His special groove-inspired sounds are sure to plant a grin on your face and immerse the beach in summer vibes.

If you’re up for sensational entertainment, drizzled with soul and smoldering vibes, jump-start your season of festival fever and head to Oceanfest. The full line up hasn’t yet been confirmed, but you can be sure that with over 25 bands due to play there will be something to everyone’s taste.

It's just £27 for a weekend ticket, so cheap that we had to double check that wasn't the cost of a day pass.  With an overwhelming amount of festivals to choose from this summer, if you're from the westcountry why not buff up your green fingers and stay local, staying in tune with the festival’s eco-friendly ethos.

Tickets coast £27 for an adult 3 day weekend pass. Visit www.goldcoastoceanfest.co.uk for further information. (Kezia Clark)
