Well the lineup for this year’s Rip Curl Boardmasters 2008 Music Festival is out and already its looking very promising with big names on the main stage including the Groove Armada, The Pidgeon Detectivs, The Zutons, and The Futureheads the weekend looks set to be a fantastic bash all round both sport and music wise. Its a shame to see Ghost of a Thousand on the kiddie stage yet again, not because its a shame they’re not on the main stage, more because its a shame that they have to be there at all. Who needs talent when you can have a manager with music industry ties.

The overall event takes place from the 4th to the 11th of August this year and includes some of the world’s best surfers in a pro surfing tournament, skaters in a skating event, bmxers in a bmx event, and hot women, in a bikini competition. Nice.

In addition to the main stage and the kiddie stage, ‘beach sessions’ will also be taking place every night at the beach bar – apparently Enter Shikari are opening up the first night in this tent, which sounds very, very promising indeed, and rumour has it that surf clothing superstars Surfdome (sister comapny to Wavehouse, the creators of the indoor surfing machine) will be in attendance throughout the event.

I’m going to have to see if I can make it across to Fistral beach I think!

The only thing that I think of thats missing, where are the kitesurfers?
