On Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th August 2012, the Isle of Man's greatest home-grown Manx festival returned for the fourth time.
Headliners included Reef, Will and the People, Craig Charles, Bad Manners, The Bay City Rollers and the Richardson Manoeuvre as well as many other popular visiting and local acts. Additional acts included the Kartels from Dublin, and also Radio 1 DJ Jordan Suckley who played on the Saturday night.
Mannifest is a family friendly festival where young and not-so-young can enjoy an irresistibly eclectic bill of arts, crafts and entertainments in the vibrant, soulful Manx countryside. The festival is a not-for-profit event put together by a dedicated band of enthusiasts. It supports several local charities and is building momentum each year since its original inception in August 2009 when it started with just a few hundred people. Mannifest has been growing ever since, and this Summer several thousand people came together at Glen Lough to celebrate what many said was one of the most amazing outdoor musical events the Isle of Man has seen.
Manx Lighting was tasked with providing the lighting for the main stage, together with Power and Distro to larger areas of the site.
