Improve your fest life with Skinkers

Virtual Festivals, the world’s leading online music festivals portal, today launched ‘Live Alerts’ – a cutting edge free service available to festival and live music fans across the globe.

25 October 2004

Powered by groundbreaking new technology from Skinkers Communications, the application delivers festival news alerts as it happens direct to PC desktops via a free programme that the user downloads from the Virtual Festivals website.

"Users visit VirtualFestivals.com because they trust us to give them the most up-to-date, objective and reliable festival and live event news, fast," said Steve Jenner, founder and Managing Director, Virtual Festivals. "Live music is enjoying a massive resurgence and with festivals, tours and concerts selling out faster than ever, it is essential for fans to have an instant, dependable source of information. Email has had its day as a mass communications mechanism for live music, and our latest innovation is set to revolutionise people’s fest lives."

In addition to live music news, the Live Alerts service will also offer exclusive ticket pre-sales, competitions, discounts on merchandise (including tents, travel, t-shirts and souvenir photos), interactive surveys and rich multimedia content (such as video and audio).
