So TGE officially starts TODAY!!!! Beat the queues at Wristband Exchange by picking up your 3 day wristband this evening. We also have live bands and DJ's playing on the the Metro Hubstage at the Festival Hub from 5pm today (Wednesday). Bands playing the Festival Hub today are: Abi Wade, Jennifer Left, Justin Saltmeris and Ambassadeurs. The Festival Hub bar is a great meeting place; while you are there treat yourself like a King by picking up a perfectly chilled Krusovice - a premium Czech lager, which has been brewed for Kings since 1581. Krusovice will also be hosting our evening programme at Brighthelm Church which sees a whole line up of great bands playing in a unique setting.
