This year’s Supersonic Festival runs 21-23 October 2011 and there are two excellent opportunities to get involved as an intern. The festival is small enough for you to gain not just an overview of how the festival works, but to give real input and value.

I would definitely recommend the internship to any individuals seeking a fast paced, hands on internship which is hard work but also lots of fun
