The awesome Irish festival Vantastival will be returning for 2012 and have confirmed that they will be accepting applications to play the festival from December 1st 2011.

Each act interested in putting their name forward should send an email to info@vantastival.com and put the name of the band/artist in teh subject line. The email MUST contain a link where the judging panel can listen to a minimum of three tracks. Do not send MP3 tracks attached, they will only clutter their inbox and you may get ignored because of it so don’t chance it. Cover bands will not be considered so you guy can save your keyboards ink.

Vantastival will take applications until 16th January. Previous years have seen rising talent such as O Emperor, The Ambience Affair, The Riptide Movement and We Cut Corners take to the stage, while headliners have included Jack L, Alabama 3, Whipping Boy, Duke Special and Kila to name a few.

The festival will move from Dunany Estate to Bellurgan Park, Co. Louth, in 2012. The new venue is an estate of extraordinary natural beauty just off the M1 motorway north of Dundalk. Ticket prices are very recession friendly at €89 for three nights camping and a limited number of special offer Christmas tickets at €60 will be available from the website in December.
