While the rest of the country’s at Live Earth (or Eva Longoria’s wedding. Maybe), the underground dance enthusiasts of the south will be packing themselves into Aldershot’s Rushmoor Arena for the Antiworld 777 festival

The new festival has booked some amazing headliners, like Beastie Boys’ DJ Mix Master Mike, Fergie (the DJ, not the princess / singstress / football manager), Layo & Bushwacka and Coldcut. And of course, the legendary er, Thrash Jelly, Ross vs Moon and the (possibly) world-famous Banana Dave.

It’s a massive festival - at one point in the weekend, they have five stages playing. There’s live dance, Brazilian music, full-on psychedelic trance (is there any other kind?), and indoor and outdoor dance stage and a Ninja Tune-hosted area.
There’s loads of camping around the site, too. It’s on an old army training site, and runs 3pm today (Thursday) until Sunday, which is a chill-out day. Phew. Tickets are still on sale - they’re £100 for the weekend, including camping, and £35 per day. Go to the Antiworld 777 website to see the full line up and buy tickets.

On a totally different note, the website asks: “Where will you be on 07/07/07?” Well, I’ll be at my brother and sister’s 21st birthday party, down the road in Fleet. So, er, keep it down please, you crazy kids.
