... making way for an even HOTTER LINEUP!

VIRGIN FESTIVAL POSTPONED

Virgin Festival - due to have taken place in December this year, has been postponed to early next year. This has been done in order to secure the huge international line-up more in line with what Virgin Festival stands for throughout the world - a line-up to make South Africans proud.

Virgin Mobile CEO Peter Boyd says four out of five of some of the hottest bands to ever grace SA shores are on track, but Virgin Moblie is still not entirely satisfied with the international line-up. “Some of the bands that South Africans kept asking for were simply not available at that time of the year.”

... are not going ANYWHERE!

As a platform for the Road to V winning band, three concerts presented by Virgin Mobile will still be taking place.

Maroon 5, One Republic, The Parlotones & Goldfish will rock the stage on:

13 December @ Coca-Cola Dome, Jhb

14 December @ ICC, Dbn

17 December @ Grand Arena at Grandwest, CT

They'll be lighting up the stage together with Road to V’s winning bands. The grand winner will still open the Virgin Festival by Virgin Mobile when it goes live.

With international acts Maroon 5 and One Republic still coming to South Africa, existing ticket sales will still be honoured, only now the concert (on dates mentioned above) will be a curtain raiser for Virgin Festival 2009.

For those who’ve already bought tickets, don't stress!

Current ticket holders have three options:

1.    Hold onto tickets for next year’s Virgin Festival, as they will still be valid;

2.    Get a full refund from Computicket;

3.    Or attend the Virgin Mobile pre-show instead, which will be cheaper, so you will also be entitled to a partial refund of your original ticket price.

Virgin assures it's worth the wait!!!
