Due to the hundreds of people who already brought tickets for next year at this years' event, the number of tickets available under this offer will be strictly limited, and will only be available while stocks last. Tickets can be bought via the Wychwood Festival office, on 01993 772580, or by downloading the application form from the website.

The first act confirmed for Wychwood are the 11 piece folk dance festival favourites

Also exclusively announced today for the 2009 festival is the return of Asian fusionists

We are also running a competition where those ordering tickets before Monday 26th September will also be put in a draw to win one of two copies of Bellowhead's new album Matachin.

A massive thanks to all our stewards and volunteers who are essential to making the festival work and to the production team who put it all together and make it run like clockwork.

We are putting the office back together this week and tickets for 2009 will be made available at a discount as part of our usually early bird offer shortly so look out for those. The dates of the 2009 festival will be 29th - 31st May. Please do keep posting your feedback on the forums and emailing the office direct. It is all useful stuff.

We do get a lot of lost property handed in so if you are missing anything, there is a good chance that we have it here in the office.

A big thanks again to everyone! See you next year!

Our lovely friends at Ribbed Comedy have added some great names to complete the line up in the Wickwar tent.

In fine support of Jeff Green on Friday you can catch Barry Dodds, finalist in both the Jimmy Carr Comedy Idol competition, and Jongleurs Last Laugh Comedy search and Bradford based scatologically cerebral comic Ben Schofield.

On Saturday supporting Sean Lock will be Wychwood favourite Mundo Jazz.

Finally in support of Dave Johns on Sunday will be previous Wychwood attendee and nominee in the Chortle Awards 2008 for Breakthrough Act and Best Show, Terry Saunders and former stockbroker and now accomplished comic Damion Larkin.

We couldn't resist any longer! So back by popular demand are those cheeky monkeys. 3 Daft Monkeys will be in the Big Top on Sunday performing tracks from their new album 'Social Vertigo'.

In the Big Top on Friday get ready to move your feet as we introduce you to the sound of the most remote of equatorial villages, with a unique urban twist. Kasai Masai, named after the river in the heart of the Rain Forest and the Masai tribe whose lives centre around it, successfully marry vintage grooves with an overwealming urge to 'move the dance foor!'

In the big top on Saturday we welcome South African singer, songwriter and film composer Chris Letcher whose recent album 'Frieze' was described by The Guardian as "A truly world class album".

And in a final addition is Oxford based musician Richard Walters. Richard will be performing his stunning masterpieces on the Main Stage on Sunday.

The Divine Comedy, fronted by main man Neil Hannon, well known for their hits, 'National Express', 'Something for the Weekend' and 'Frog Princess' amongst many others, will be bringing their witty lyrics and charm to the main stage at Wychwood on Saturday. Joining previously announced acts Orchestra Baobab and welsh soul sensation Duffy.

Other new acts to be confirmed for the 3 day festival are Boston based upbeat rock band The Young Republic, Asian and London inspired singer songwriter Karen David, a little blues and soul with Marcus Bonfanti and the bad boys and Australian blues/jazz/folk fusionists Desperately not Yoko.

The Doghouse at Wychwood line-up features three days of brilliant up and coming artists with headline acts from Manchester's answer to Arcade Fire, the Air Cav, East Lancashire's blissed out psychedelic folksters The Loungs and rolling country folksters The Travelling Band. Michael says "we all have different and wide tastes in music at The Doghouse and we put on anything from ska to low-fi to alt-country, folk, electronica, hip-hop and alternative rock, often mixing styles on the same bill. The line-up we have selected for the Wychwood stage reflects that approach with a distinctively Northern feel."

Hear interviews from Simon Emmerson of The Imagined Village and our comedy curator Andy Smart, as well as a taste of some of the music you will be hearing across the weekend.
