FORGET the Glastonbury mud, floating tents and soggy wellies - a new festival
with a luxurious twist is the place to be this summer.
The Magic Loungeabout boasts 24 hours of live acts, set in a North Yorkshire
priory with a Champagne bar to celebrate in style.
Guests can indulge in free camping and parking, as well as a posh sherpa
service to carry their bags.
Billed as a ‘grown up’ festival, it promises to treat guests like VIPs without
the designer price tag.
The line up includes a host of stars from GARY NUMAN to LADYTRON,
and from MORCHEEBA to funk band THE EGG.
A free aftershow party held under the stars will feature DJ sets from JOHN
KELLY and MATT COOPER.
The intimate festival, which takes place on August 30, aims to be an
alternative to the summer's massive mud fests

Mc Lyte Upset About Sexism In Court
Rapper MC LYTE fears the U.S. legal system is sexist when it comes to punishing the ladies of hip-hop - because they get a tougher deal than their male counterparts.
The 1990s rap sensation admits she was horrified by the sentences handed down to Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim, while T.I. served a house arrest term on illegal weapons charges over Christmas (07) and R. Kelly's child pornography case took six years to get to court.
In a recent statement on her okaysister.blogspot.com website, MC Lyte wrote, "After allegedly purchasing firearms and such, T.I. gets to stay home in the comfort of his luxurious Atlanta home, while nearly every woman in the game that has been taken in for something has either done time or (they're) waiting on pins and needles to know the outcome of their cases."
And now she's speaking out about the trend for jailing her peers.
In a new Venuszine magazine interview, Lyte says, "There are mistakes that are made. It just so happens that women pay dearly for them."
