2008 saw a pirate theme invading the festival – did anyone spot Jack Sparrow? Hayseed Dixie instigated an extraordinary hoe-down, the Utah Saints fired lazers at a pulsating crowd and local wunkerkinden the Anomalies stormed their home ground with their energizing hip hop for the masses. And let us not forget the throbbing bass oozing out of the Cubicles thanks to the dextrous fingers of one Sub Focus. And Nozstock’s newest area, the Coppice, grew out of the trees by the lake bringing psytrance to the thousands.
