Relentless Energy Drinks presents NASS Fest June 2008 + lineup

Pendulum

Relentless NASS returns for its tenth consecutive year on June 13th - 15th 2008 for three days of action sports and live music at the Royal Bath and West Showground in Somerset, England. The highly charged festival has seen crowds in excess of 15,000 attending to take in not only a premier music and sports line-up, but also an extensive trade and adrenaline village, paintball arena and climbing area. Traders selling everything from clothing to action sports equipment are set to make this year's festival the definitive destination for any action sports and music enthusiast.

This year's Relentless NASS marks a return to form with the festival promising fans more action sports than ever seen before, including everything from skate to FMX. The Vans European skate team will be making a welcome first appearance to the festival bringing with them local heroes and top international names.

Tony Hawk protege Jean Postec will be stepping up to try and level with his mentor by completing the near impossible fakie-to-fakie 900. The King Ramps vert ramp will also be graced by some of the best riders on the US circuit taking time out from the world renowned Action Sports Dew Tour.

Relentless NASS will also be delivering a top-end BMX course. Some of the world's most notorious riders including UK heavyweights, Mark Webb and Dew Tour 07 victor Daniel Dhers, will be battling it out to try and take home some of the total event prize purse of over $80,000.

FMX fans will not be disappointed at this year's Relentless NASS, UK legends Gary Taylor, Danny Veale and the Relentless UK FMX team will be taking the helm ensuring that this year’s course and prize fund will be the most competitive to date.

Alongside some top ranking action sports, Relentless NASS will feature an impressive music bill boasting 35 internationally renowned acts across two live stages and the Relentless Bar.

Friday night's main stage which is sponsored by Rock Sound magazine, will play host to a live set from Pendulum. The drum and bass collective hailing from Perth, Australia have been in heavy rotation on the dance and commercial circuit for the past five years, reaching critical acclaim with their debut album 'Hold Your Colour' in 2007. Pendulum will be supported by newcomers Late of the Pier. The four-piece are no strangers to the likes of NME, MTV2 and Channel 4's cult show Skins. The band are taking new rave into a second season, ditching the glow sticks and reaching for the synthesizers to create heavy electro inspired indie with nods to everyone from The Cure to Klaxons. Friday will also feature Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Metronomy, Ghost Frequency, Devils Gun and We Smoke Fags.

The Subways

Saturday night will welcome some of the best names in rock and punk with headliners Less Than Jake and The Subways setting the standard with another very special band that is yet to be announced! Less Than Jake, the ska-punk five-piece veterans have been a household name on the skate and BMX scene for over 15 years spreading their sun-soaked Floridian sound worldwide, filling up stadiums, skate parks and just about every skate movie you can think of. Their headline show at NASS 08 will be their only UK date this summer and is set to be a welcome return after 6 consecutive sell-out shows in London last year. Saturday's stage will also feature music from Elliot Minor, Beat Union, In Case of Fire, Skirtbox, *Shels and Lioness.

Relentless NASS's music bill also includes two days of renowned drum and bass and electro in the Indoor Arena. A 3am late license has paved the way for some big name DJ's including Eddy Temple Morris, Micky Slim, Adam F and Subfocus.

The final facet of the music-based entertainment comes in the form of the Relentless Bar - hosted by Streetwise Music. With DJs all day and a few acoustic sets from bands, this bar will be rounding off musical proceedings perfectly.

This year's Relentless NASS will be home to a host of world class action sports and music acts, for the latest information on attendees and tickets please go to www.nassfest.com.
