Twelve week cultural festival planned for Olympics year
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 March 2010
A twelve week cultural festival will take place in the run up to the 2012 London Olympics, involving the BBC and various promoters from across the music business, it has been confirmed.
The festival, currently dubbed Festival 2012, will feature gigs in cities across the UK, as well as fashion and theatre related activities. There will also be four major events to mark the start and end of both the main Olympic Games and the Paralympics, plus there’ll be a River Of Music staged on barges on the Thames from 21-22 Jun.
Sounds expensive. Sorry, I mean, sounds exciting.
