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.
