Along with the main event, the BBC will be holding a set of fringe events in the week leading up to the event showcasing the best local talent from Swindon and the surrounding areas. More details on the Fringe will be coming soon.

Tickets for this event are free, but will be allocated randomly via a lottery. Registration for Tickets will open on Tuesday 14 April 2009 on the BBC website with 40,000 tickets being released over the two days.
