Fuel 08

In partnership with atiG Events and Ballymena Borough Council we are excited to bring “Fuel 08” to Ballymena …a one day festival of music and activities to be held at the Ecos Centre on 16th August 2008.

Fuel 08 will bring together some of the best of both international and local artists and the plan is to use it as a celebration concert for the whole community to mark the end of the week of Spark and Deepfish.

The main stage artists confirmed so far include Starfield, Onehundredhours and The Johnny Parks Band. In addition to the main stage, other entertainment will include an Acoustic Cafe and a Rock Tent (providing a showcase for up and coming local bands), a photographic art exhibition, and various seminars in the Ecos Centre. Admission to the event is free.

We are really excited about having the opportunity to have this type of an event in Ballymena…the potential is huge so can we encourage you all to be praying for it, asking God to use it to build His kingdom in Ballymena.
