KIDNAPPED presents Summer 2010: A SPACE ODDITY!
Fancy dress is optional, but is key to the whole Kidnapped experience(see pics from past events if you don't believe us), so we strongly suggest you make an effort.
Once you are in possession of your exclusive ticket, you are then eligible to be taken hostage by our crack team of kidnappers from a choice of three launch locations around the island (Gorey, Town and St.Aubins/St.Brelades) who will then bundle you and the rest of the hostages onto a coach, blindfolding you and then transporting you to a top secret location where you will then be unloaded and set free to party the night away.
On arrival, you'll be free to roam around up to 4 different arenas of varying mood, musical style and cosmic madness with some of the islands finest DJ and live music talent on offer including Hybrid, Craig Alder, Pete de Momme, Carrie Cooper, Rocksteady, Ashley Ford, Steve Ferbrache with more tbc. There will be plenty of bars and a food stall to keep you fed and watered as well as a make up and space accessories station where you will be able to update or touch up your look throughout the night.
Once the evening has come to an end, we will then safely transport you back to your original pick up point.
Pick up points .... Gorey, St Aubins/St Brelades, Weighbridge Park (Royal Yacht)

22nd August // Howard Davis Park // £FREE // 12pm
Jersey Live is set in one of the most unusual and picturesque backdrops you could ever hope to find a music festival.What with Jersey having a massive chunk of water separating it from the British coast, it’s not on the regular touring circuit for up-and-coming indie bands, and this is what makes the festival atmosphere unmatched anywhere in the world; Jersey folk don’t take top-notch live music for granted, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a bunch of people as up for a party.
