Until Zoo Thousand and Eight
GALLOWS (FRANK CARTER)
“We are very, very excited to be there, it’s probably the best line up I have seen for a festival all year. I mean even just on the grime front, Mitchell brothers, Wiley and you’ve got Stanton Warriors and Pendulum, it’s just going to be a really good weekend. So I think we are playing Friday but if there are still weekend tickets available then I think we are gonna snap them off ya. I want to be there for the whole weekend”.
HADOUKEN (JAMES)
“Zoo8 looks quality and we are looking forward to playing this year, we’re
definitely gonna check out acts such as The Cribs, Gallows, Does it Offend
You, Yeah and hopefully the Zebra enclosure”.
THE HOLLOWAYS
“ZOO8. What a pun. If this zoo themed festival turns out to be half as much fun as I’m hoping then it'll be mega. We might have to write a head banging song for the giraffes. There's some top bands I’m looking forward to like Ash, The Young Knives and The Hives. There seems to be a glaring omission in the line up though - no Zootons?”
Metronomy, The Teenagers, New Puritans and Yousef are among the latest acts confirmed for Zoo Thousand And Eight Festival.
Metronomy will take to Friday's main stage, alongside headliner Mark Ronson and many more, while The Teenagers will perform on the Saturday ahead of bill toppers The Cribs.
The first ever Zoo Thousand festival takes place at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, Kent, from 4–6 July 2008.
Additions have also been made to the smaller Tap ‘N’ Tin stage with We Start Fires playing live and Cut Copy DJing.
Meanwhile Liverpool DJ Yousef joins the line-up for the Devious / Pukka Up tent on the Friday and These New Puritans replace Lupen Crook as headliners for the Suburban Kings tent.
The Hives are set to headline Zoo-themed festival Zoo Thousand and Eight.
Taking place at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park between July 4 and 6, the band will play the festival, which will also see performances from Gallows and Ash.
Speaking to NME.COM, The Hives' singer Pelle Almqvist said he was letting the zoo's animals influence his choice of setlist for the gig.
"We're a bit scared that the gorillas will start a riot if we don't play the right songs," he explained. "We've never played a zoo before you know? Once we played at a festival in (hometown of) Fagersta in a field and their were cows there. Did they like our music? Well cows are pretty chilled out generally aren't they? So yes, I think so."
Almqvist said that although she thought it was fine for some of the bigger animals to listen to their set, it didn’t seem right on the smaller ones. He said: "I don't think it’s fair on the small birds - they'll be pulverised by our sound."
The band are also looking forward to playing on the same bill as Ash.
"Last time we played a festival together we had a wrestling match together and we ended up grappling them with a chair," explained the singer. "I think we are ready for a re-match - I'm ready."
