The event will take place at Nobles Park, Douglas, between 18^th and 20^th June 2010; the artist line-up will be announced at the end of next month.

“The 2007 event was a spectacular showcase for the Isle of Man and brought a lot of enjoyment to people living here. I know next year’s event will be even bigger and better and it is fantastic that once again we are able to be a part of that.”

Jonathan Irving, Promoter of the Manx Telecom Bay Festival, commented: “It is my pleasure to be able to welcome the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company to the party. As we saw in 2007, they were a very active sponsor and I am very much looking forward to working with them once again.
