NME-Europe Live: SOS 4.8 Festival 2010

Following the sellout success of the 2009 edition, the 2010 SOS 4.8 festival has surprised everyone by announcing advance ticket sales before Christmas. 500 tickets have been put on the market at the "giveaway" price of just 30€ (plus costs) and this is before any artists have actually been confirmed!

After a mere two years, the festival has already gained a reputation in Spain for putting together a quality line up, with last year featuring the likes of The Prodigy, Underworld, Babyshambles or The Wombats (oh yeah, and Duffy, but we won't go into that..) and promises to go one better this year.

So far the official site is just playing silly beggars again, offering some riddles before the first acts are officially confirmed. You can play along if you like the torture or, alternatively, wait until the 18 December when rumour has it a formal announcement will be made. You can also follow developments on their facebook page.

What is clear though is that the future looks bright for this event and even a suspected 50€ price tag for those waiting to see what they'll be getting for their money over the May bank holiday weekend is pretty good value for money. NME-E will keep you posted.

Will SOS 4.8 2010 surpass the 2009 edition?
