For the ultimate festival experience, Rewind festival-goers can pre-order a When Nature Calls wristband for access to the exclusive ’Loo Lounge’ – situated under a luxury stretch marquee with a café and chill out zone. With warm water hand washing facilities and mirrors, these loos are cleaned after every use by uniformed attendants.
Originally launched at Henley-on-Thames in 2009, Rewind The 80s Festival boasts the biggest line-up of 80s artists in the world, and in its first four years has featured such iconic 80s names as: Boy George, Village People, The Human League, Gloria Gaynor, Kool & The Gang, Holly Johnson, Bananarama, and many more.
Rewind Festival in Henley-on-Thames has proven to be so popular with 80’s music audiences that 2011 saw the launch of its sister festival ”Rewind Scotland” at Scone Palace in Perth, followed by Rewind Festivals in South Africa in 2012. With its global appeal escalating, the next stop for Rewind is Dubai and Bangkok later this year.
