These names are the first to be revealed of the 25 or so acts performing at T4 On The Beach 2008. More acts will be announced over the next few months.

Tickets for the event, which sold out last year, are priced at £30 and go on sale at 9am on Friday 25th April. Music and beach lovers can buy tickets from Ticketmaster (0844 847 1743).

For those that can’t make it down to the party, the whole event will be televised and broadcast live on Channel 4 so there is no need for anyone to miss out.

T4 presenters Steve Jones, Miquita Oliver, Alexa Chung and Rick Edwards will be presenting the beach party this year and bringing some of the hottest pop, rock and indie acts of the moment to the stage.

Steve Jones commented: 'I love going to Weston-super-Mare and partying at T4 On The Beach! This is the sixth year of T4 On The Beach and it is one of my favourite days out of the summer, so I hope that you are all going to join us to celebrate our six on the beach!'
