New festival for under 25s gets creative
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 February 2009
A new festival aimed at and programmed by under 25s will take place at the Roundhouse in London from 8-10 May.
Zane Lowe, Noisettes and Tinchy Stryder are all booked to take part in the Turning Point festival, which will combine gigs and the like with daytime workshops on things like DJing, photography and fashion styling.
Amos Schonfield, one of the under 25s organising the festival, told reporters: “For us Turning Point represents more than just a chance to assemble a dream line-up of music and performing arts”.
“As the name suggests, it represents a Turning Point in our lives as well as the lives of all the other young people that will be involved. This unique opportunity gives us the chance to create an experience that aims to both entertain and inform, and where better than the Roundhouse?”
