Volunteers chopping lemons backstage in 2012 – one of the many and varied tasks to undertake over the weekend!

SUPERSONIC NEEDS YOU!

Capsule’s internationally renowned festival runs 19-21 October 2012 and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer.

We need a dedicated team of volunteers to help deliver Supersonic over the festival weekend (19-21 October) and also in the run up to the festival (early October onwards). We expect a minimum of 12 hours over the festival period in exchange for a weekend wristband.

The festival is small enough for everyone involved as a volunteer to gain an overview of how the festival works, and to give real input and value.

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
