Linkin Park in South Africa Virgin Festival

Ok, so I’ve heard a lot of people talking about Linken Park being in South Africa and I’m not quite sure how true it is, but word has it that they’ll possibly be playing at the Virgin Festival!

The Virgin festival has been postponed to early 2009 in order to secure the international line-up that is more in line with what Virgin Festival stands for throughout the different countries. “Our criteria for a successful Virgin Festival are a great Greenfield venue, an impressive and eclectic international line-up, a huge local line-up, the Road to V bringing local unsigned bands into the mix, and some quirky brand activations for the crowd from Virgin. Four out of five of these are on track, but we’re not entirely satisfied with the international line-up,” said Boyd. “Some of the bands that South Africans kept asking for were simply not available at that time of the year.”

For those who’ve already bought tickets, there’s no need to worry. Current ticket holders have three options:

1. Hold onto tickets for next year’s Virgin Festival, as they will still be valid
2. Get a full refund from Computicket
3. Or attend the curtain raiser for the Virgin Festival 2009 instead, which will be cheaper, so you will also be entitled to a partial refund of your original ticket price
