There's an article in their latest journal, summing up the best 10 music festivals in Europe, and the G! Festival comes in a #2

G! FESTIVAL
Gota, Faroe Islands. 19-22 July
Headliners: Guillemots, Lonely Dear, Dr.
Spock, Young Dubliners
PA Supplier: TBC

Now this is an interesting one. Rocky
terrain, usually overcast and windy,
bordered mostly by high cliffs and halfway
between Iceland and Norway, the Faroe
Islands aren’t the obvious choice for a
festival. Especially given that organisers are
hoping to sell 9,000 tickets to a total
population of just 48,000 people. Which is
exactly why G! Festival makes this year’s top
ten: for sheer guts alone. It takes place on a
beach in Gota, and the last two years have
sold out (at 6,000), although an estimated
2,000 pesky fishermen copped a free view
from their boats. There are rumours of Navy
Seals being employed this year.
