Expect a sublime mix of Funk, Hip-Hop, Electro, Breaks & D&B from some of the UKs pioneering artists, supported by the cream of Cheltenhams own DJ/Producer talent. This will serve as the Official Launch Party for 2009 and 2008 Festival Reunion all rolled into one, so expect this one to go off big time!!BIG announcements for the 2009 festival coming soon!

This year Bloom will attract some 8,000 young and stylish individuals to the UK`s most exciting outdoor event as it is part of the new breed of boutique festival that has emerged over the last 5

years, bucking the trend of large scale, over crowded and over commercialised outdoor events.

Bloom will provide a packed programme of the best music and entertainment from around the

globe; showcasing a unique blend of new and established groups, artists, DJs and labels

covering electro, house, hip hop, folk, indie, rock, jazz, funk, reggae, dub, breaks and drum&bass – to name a few!

Offering a rounded and quality festival experience with high end local, organic food concessions, luxury onsite accommodation, excellent on-site facilities, comedy, cabaret, film screenings,

interactive media, theatre, workshops and family-friendly zones Bloom will explode into carnival of colour and free expression this summer.
