RTE (in the guise of Kairos Communications) will be filming at Summer Madness this year to produce an hour long 'Songs of Praise' type programme, to be broadcast a week or two after the Festival.
So maybe you'd better pack that extra/clean t-shirt and emergency 'lippy' - should be asked for a few words or if you are caught on camera singing your heart out or just munching on a burger.
...but we do have a few other ideas for those extra bits and pieces that you might pack..(see the Random Acts of Kindness article...)

Arts and Activities round up..
What's On - Arts!
As we've all come to expect from Madness over the years, we have a whole host of arts programme, activities and workshops for one and all to indulge their "arty side" in!
For those of you with music on the mind, the worskhop lineup is more than just eclectic - the ever talented Pais will be laying on Beat Box & Freestyling (SMart 1, Monday 4pm); Four Kornerz will be stretching your creativity with Afro Funk workshop (SMart 1, Saturday 4pm); Tim Doak is busy prepping two Photography sessions (SMart 1, Sunday 2.30pm & 4pm).
Appearing throughout the festival will be our trusty array of DJs & VJs, culminating in a high-octane Sunday Night Disco, Rave (or whatever you prefer to call it!) in the Yakshak at 10pm, hosted by the team at YWAM & Fusion.
Alongside the main evening music programme, all our venues around the festival site promise a burgeoning lineup of talent and creativity day and night - from the Christian Aid and SMart 1/Exodus "Deep" Afternoon sessions, right over to CIYD/Youthlink's Ceilidh and Urban Saints/Tearfund Open Mic & "Best of Belfast" nights, there is definitely something for everyone!
And that's before we even get to Monday Night Madness!
What's On - Activities!
All the favourites will be making a reappearance this year - including Outdoor Laserquest, run by the adventurous pro's at Escarmouche; Basketball & a whole array of action run by Christians in Sport in the Yakshak, alongside a new addition to the team: a Climbing Wall, courtesy of ALT, capable of reaching up to four people up to the heights of the halls at a time!
A bit of Cage Football won't go amiss, and alongside some quality inflatables and pool tables, there's only one more word needed: Zorbs!

SEEKER-FRIENDLY SUNDAY MADNESS:
Traditionally we try to open up the Fesival on the Sunday to allow you to invite in family and friends - to sample some of the programme and join in with the praise and fellowship. This year we hope to extend this 'open day' policy, to provide free access to the evening mainstage as well. This will only be through special complimentary tickets that can be obtained by campers. THE POINT BEING: you get the chance to pray for your friends and invite them along for a day of Madness that might just change their lives.
Anyone who is a camper at Madness this year can request a complimentary ticket for Sunday and simply ask that they are used prayerfully. Throughout the 'Celebration of Hope' many of us learned the value of dedicating ourselves to praying for friends and family and providing some opportunities for individuals to experience the Gospel and a clear chance to respond. So it's that simple. But you do need to get in touch with the office and ask - because it is a commitment - on your part!
Call 02890673379.
