Organized by the creators of the Noise Pop Festival, one of the nation’s longest-running music festivals, and Another Planet Entertainment, a nationally established independent concert promoter based in Berkeley, CA, the Treasure Island Music Festival has been called a “full blown love affair” by SPIN.COM, and has SF WEEKLY boasting that “NorCal has its own Micro-achella.”

“I could not be happier with the Treasure Island line-up this year” says Allen Scott, Vice President of Another Planet Entertainment. “In a busy U.S. festival marketplace, our eclectic bill, unique setting and intimate size set this event apart from other festivals.”

"It's exciting to me that we were once again able to achieve our goal of presenting a festival that reflects the 16 year history of Noise Pop” adds Jordan Kurland, Noise Pop co-owner “and more importantly, the diverse tastes of the Bay Area music community."

The two-day celebration will have plenty of interactive activities for the audience including a Ferris wheel, a vending village featuring local artists and designers, as well as a wide array of food and beverages.

Continuing in the tradition of last year's environmentally sustainable event, complimentary transportation to the island on bio-diesel buses will be provided. The carbon neutral Treasure Island Music Festival had the second highest waste diversion rate (72%) of all outdoor events in San Francisco in 2007 according to the SF Department of the Environment and aims to increase this rate at the 2008 festival

Treasure Island Music Festival runs from 12:00PM to 10:00PM each day. Single day tickets cost $65.00. Two-day tickets cost $115.00. There will also be a limited quantity of VIP tickets sold as a four-pack, which includes four VIP tickets to one day of the festival, one VIP parking spot on the island, preferred viewing area, VIP Lounge with full bar and other amenities for $445.00.
