GO.GO Women's Festival Line Up & Arrival of Candy Bar Girls For 2012

Last year I went along to the GO.GO women's festival along with 200 other women from Brighton & Hove to join thousands of females from across the UK. We genuinely had a great time and the moment the dates were announced for 2012 myself, the girlfriend and the same friends that went together last year booked the time off from work without hesitation.

For those that didn't go to the festival , you may have got a taster of the GO.GO style if you attended Brighton Pride in 2011 where GO.GO and Zhoosh, the LGBT Brighton Network I run teamed up together to run the Women's Performance Tent where GO.GO showcased their abilities at attracting the best (and sexiest!) of UK female talent for their stage line-ups, It was a huge success and the tent packed the whole day.

To wet our appetites further, GO.GO have revealed a taster of the eagerly awaited 2012 GO.GO festival line up which has revealed Jill Jackson, Wallis Bird and Bitch will be playing.

Jill Jackson, back by popular demand

Kate and Becky, organisers of the boutique festival, now in its third year, say they are delighted with the line-up, which comprises of some of the most wanted artists by festival goers - coming away with quite a number of CD's last year bought from the artists, I loved them so much!

Becky Sampson, director of the festival, said:

“We surveyed both new and existing customers to ask festival goers who they would most like to see on stage in 2012. We are thrilled to announce Jill Jackson, Wallis Bird and Bitch, who were amongst the most requested performers in the survey. We listened to what GO.GO girls want, and are making sure they get it! The full line-up including headliners will be announced over the next few weeks – watch this space!”

Other artists announced so far include The Cut Outs, Hooker and JOAN ov ARC. The organisers promise a talented line up from both up and coming and established acts from across the globe, including singers, musicians, DJ’s, dancers and comedians.

“We are creating a unique line up that can’t be seen anywhere else, so have handpicked artists who we know our audience will love” Becky said.

The survey highlighted other areas which festival goers would like at GO.GO, and the organisers are investing in extra zones, activities and facilities in to 2012’s festival to maximise customer experience and offer a great value inclusive weekend package. New for 2012, London’s Candy Bar is hosting the Main Bar, recreating the famous venue as seen on channel 5’s Candy Bar Girls. Two other club tents complete the trio, with dress up shenanigans and themed parties at the burlesque style Peacock Lounge, and massive club nights in the infamous Big Top. High energy dance classes, workshops and the legendary GO.GO comedy sessions and speed dating are back, bigger and better than ever. For R&R, the Pamper Lounge and the Library are enchanting escapes from the excitement of the festival.

Since its launch in 2010, GO.GO has become the UK’s No.1 festival for lesbian and bisexual women and their friends. Having attracted over 2,500 women in 2011, the festival site has moved from Kent to London and increased capacity. Taking place at Damyns Hall, London, between 8th-10th June, the festival is at the end of the District Line on the London tube network.

I highly recommend to you all to experience GO.GO’s third outing. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.gogofestival.com
