It's time to rummage through your wardrobe, dig out your flip flops and sunhat and get ready for Leicester's Summer Sundae Weekender. Over the past ten years this festival has steadily grown from a small, one-off event into a long weekend of summer hedonism and the cream of the UK's musical talent. With a line up featuring some of the biggest names in the music business, Summer Sundae tickets are set to sell out fast, so get yours now and look forward to a long, hot festival season.

Best Festival
In the past Summer Sundae has been voted the best small festival in the UK, and there's plenty of reasons why. Although it attracts some of the biggest names in music, the Summer Sundae Weekender has managed to retain a low-key atmosphere. If you're fed up with skanky campsites and overpriced food stands, getting Summer Sundae tickets will be a breath of fresh air. It's spread over De Monfort Hall and Park, and its size means it's easy to navigate your way around, so there's no cattle-like surges between stages. The campsite also has a relatively civilised, friendly, family feel to it, so you're guaranteed sleep which isn't disturbed by a boozy, shouty rendition of a Zutons' song.

Kicking Off The Action
The line up for the 2012 festival looks very impressive indeed, with some of the biggest names in the business taking to the De Montford Hall and Gardens stage. Asian Dub Foundation, Katy B, Willy Mason, Goodnight Lenin, Public Image Limited and Reverend and the Makers are just some of the live acts headlining this year's festival, so get ready to tap those toes to some of the finest musical minds in the land.

And That's Not All
These really rather exemplary acts are just a few of the treats in store. Others acts confirmed on the line-up are Dan Mangan, Cashier Number 9, Grace Petrie and Rachel Sermanni, no doubt increasing the demand for Summmer Sundae tickets. Each year the festival hosts around 100 acts. Previous year's line ups have included Supergrass, Noah and The Whale and the Mystery Jets alongside dozens of other up and coming bands. But it's not all about the music. Leicester's Summer Sundae Weekender has found the magic festival formula - ensuring there's something for everyone. So as well as musicians, there's stand-up comedy and plenty to keep the kids entertained from face-painting to arts and crafts plus plenty of chill-out areas.

The Summer Sundae Weekender takes place from 17th August - 19th August 2012 at De Montfort Hall and Gardens. For more information and to buy tickets, click on the link below.
