The Bulldog Bash, which takes place at Shakespeare County Raceway, Warwickshire, looks set to smash attendance records as pre-event ticket sales hit an all time high for the Silver Jubilee.

Bulldog Bash Organiser Bilbo Commented "It's great to see the Biking community and music lovers supporting the event in such numbers; we have fought hard to keep the event in Warwickshire and won thanks to an open minded and forward thinking local Council. Now its time for the people that have supported us to enjoy the party – We will continue to support Warwickshire, charities such as Stratford Rotary Club and Help For Heroes , the people of Stratford and communities surrounding the site that have all rallied behind us to keep the event at Long Marsdon."

This year's annual Bulldog Bash sees three of the biggest names in British musical history set to rock the festival to its very foundations, as Status Quo line-up along side the inimitable Bad Manners and The Damned. Quo front man Rossi said of their forthcoming return to the Bash's main stage: "We love playing the Bulldog and it's fair to say that we are delighted to be back. It's one of the liveliest shows that the band play anywhere on the circuit and we're looking forward to giving the crowd a serious Quo rocking!"
There are loads more bands to see over the weekend of the Bulldog Bash. Live entertainment is one of the festival's cornerstones, and this year won't disappoint on that front. More than 35 live bands are set to appear, over two stages.

If you thought the Bulldog Bash was all about booze, long hair and live rock music, you'd be wrong - This year there's a major-league line-up of DJs rocking the dance tent once the sun goes down, including none other than Lady Ga-Ga's best friend and DJ, Lady Starlight.

Lady Starlight's rare UK appearance in her own right is bound to be a roof-lifting set, full of hard rock and glamour. She's been voted New York's best female hard rock DJ, and now she's coming to a field in Warwickshire. It's time to leave your preconceptions at the gate and immerse yourself in a set from one of the biggest rock DJs in the world.

The dance tent will be heaving and bouncing all weekend, with a full list of DJs too long to mention here. However, highlights include a set from organiser Jock Dreadstar; who's calling the shots from Birmingham based dance promoters E:VOLVE, the return of Bulldog favourite Riggsy, dark beats from Shenton, plus big beats from Strange Dave & Livewire.
