'This is the most extravagant show to date, huge headliners, edgy and super cool support bands who everyone will love! Amazing Dance acts. Lots of creative performing artists and installations, Stunning Production with those beautiful flags and crazy inflatables, we also aim for this to be the slickest and smoothest operation to date. Jersey Live will move up a
weight division in 2008!' Warren Holt - Jersey Live.
