added: Thu, Jun 21st '18

From Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, the creators of the popular British comedy series "The Inbetweeners," comes a new feature-length comedy that's set against the backdrop of a popular outdoor music festival.

Check out the new international trailer for "The Festival," which stars "Inbetweeners" star Joe Thomas as a dorky concert-goer who, after being dumped by his girlfriend, is trying to let out some pent-up frustration while attending his first ever outdoor music festival with two of his best friends, played here by Aussie comic actress Claudia O'Doherty (from the Netflix series "Love") and British comedian Hammed Animashaun.

Written by Keith Akushie and Joe Parham, the creator and writer of the British sitcom "Siblings" and directed by Iain Morris, the film also features supporting turns from New Zealand comedian Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows, Flight of the Conchords), Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz's Nick Frost, and English comedian Noel Fielding, of "The Mighty Boosh" fame.

"The Festival" will be released in the U.K. on August 17th.

synopsis:
When Nick's (Joe Thomas) girlfriend dumps him at graduation, he has a colossal meltdown in front of the entire university. He's convinced his life is over, but his best mate Shane (Hammed Animashaun) has the perfect solution: three days at an epic music festival. With the help of "festival aficionado" and certified oddball Amy (Emmy Award nominee Claudia O'Doherty), Shane tries to get Nick to embrace the music, the mayhem and the mud. THE FESTIVAL -- a comedy about friendship, growing up, and going mad in a field.
