A Happy Christmas Jingle from msfest to You
Posted 14 December 2009
JINGLEFEST
Christmas is almost here
So spread some Christmas cheer
m-s-fest-tick-ets
Would make great gifts this year
V-I-P have sold out fast
General passes will not last
So get on board and grab your Tix
It's gunna be a blast
Oh, jingle bells, we all yell
msfest is on the way
Oh, what fun it is to bounce in the mosh pit on the day
Jingle bells, we can tell
msfest will rock this year
Eskimo Joe and Sneaky
Just a few who'll be down here
So we're getting fired up
And we hope that you are too
For Tassie's biggest show
So grab your dancin' shoes
Bliss N Eso will go off
Potbelleez will go wild
Launceston's gunna rock
With man, woman and child
Oh Jingle bells, Santa can tell
What's underneath your tree
A shiny msfest ticket
You'll have to wait and see
Jingle bells, we all yell
Merry Christmas once again
Don't you miss the moment

REDLINE BUSES GET ON BOARD FOR msfest 2010
Posted 24 November 2009
msfest 2010 is nearly upon us and with 12000 tickets all but gone, accommodation in Launceston is becoming increasingly hard to find. For those planning on making the trip from the South or Northwest and would prefer to avoid driving, you'll be relieved to hear there's an alternative available. msfest has again teamed up with Tasmania's very own Redline Tours for 2010 to ensure everyone from the South and the Northwest of the state is able to get a ride to and from the festival with comfort and safety. Buses for msfest 2010 will pick up and drop off festival goers from Hobart, Burnie and Devonport Depots. In fact, due to popular demand, an extra service has been added from Hobart. Ticket prices will remain at an affordable $30 for a return trip. DONT FORGET…buses are limited and dependent upon early bookings, so those who know they need a ride should secure a spot as soon as possible. We urge everyone to book in advance or they may miss out. Booking information is available at our “Getting There" section or ring Redline at 1300 360 000 to make a booking.
Parkway Drive Join msfest Line Up
Posted 04 November 2009
With just a few months to go and 12000 tickets all but sold, we thought it was time to let you in on a little secret. Just when you thought the msfest 2010 line up couldn't hold anymore awesomeness, enter PARKWAY DRIVE, our latest awesome addition. Returning from a whirlwind year, where they toured Southeast Asia to Sweeden, U.S to the U.K and just about everywhere in between this Byron bay quintet have achieved milestones here and overseas that are beyond the realms of the imagination. The quiet confidence and lack of arrogance expressed by the band is what lies at the heart of Parkway Drive’s massive appeal. They have the ability to destroy an audience, to decimate a venue with complete and utter malice, yet at the same time show everyone in the place the time of their lives. Welcome back boys and we'll see you in the mosh pit! If your still contemplating a ticket purchase, stop contemplating and get on to it, because even with 2000 additional tickets up for grabs we're not far off putting up that familiar 'SOLD OUT' sign. This is even more important for those thinking of living it up with a touch a lavishness at the msfest Red Diamond Lounge. Less than 50 tickets remain for this exclusive experience of delicious gourmet grub, icy cold premium beverages, and soft stylish lounge suites, all at arms’ length from the action packed main stage. To avoid being disappointed, head to one of our statewide outlets or jump online at www.msfest.com and purchase your ticket today. Stay tuned because we've still got more massive surprises up our sleeves.... msfest 2010- Saturday, 6 February 2010- Dont miss the moment!

msfest Gets Bigger
Posted 05 October 2009
Hey Guys, In celebration of our 5th birthday, msfest just got a little bit bigger! We've been thinking about it for a while and thanks to the mad rush for tickets last weekend, (more than half our tickets sold in 48hours!), we are convinced it’s time to grow...We've just thrown in an extra 2000 tickets to go on sale immediately! Don't worry, there's plenty of space available to expand our site and rest assured we’ll be amping up our infrastructure and associated facilities to keep the lines short and the energy high. So although ‘ the more the merrier’ we’re still dedicated to maintaining the relaxed, comfortable boutique feel that makes msfest so unique. After all, the ultimate goal of msfest is to raise awareness and much needed funds for the MS Society and what better way to achieve this than to allow more people to come along and contribute to what is an awesome day So get out there and get your tickets today before you really do miss the moment!

However, we can only have one winner, and a huge congrats goes to Jules Brown, who's detailed recap of his experience at msfest 2009 truly captured everything that is msfest. We agree Jules! What could possibly beat a day out with awesome music, awesome people, and an awesome cause..MORE! Bye for now! We can't wait to see everyone this Feb.
