Pyramid Rock Festival returns this New Year’s Eve with the biggest line-up in the event’s seven year history.

After the apocalyptic electrical storm of last year there was speculation that the festival may not be back in 2010, however the promoters want to guarantee that not only is Pyramid Rock back to stay, they have also spent the last twelve months “reviewing, revising and reinventing” to ensure that this year’s festival goes off without a hitch.

Just to show how serious they really are, Pyramid Rock is offering up a huge line-up headed up by N.E.R.D who have just wrapped work on their hugely anticipated fourth album Nothing. Read what Pharell had to say about the new record and its “sexy lyrics” in his recent chat with FasterLouder

Joining Pharell and co will be UK post-punk lads Mystery Jets who had previously let slip they would be here over summer, hip-hop legends Arrested Development, the recently reformed Tumbleweed and bag-load more.

And in an unprecedented move, the festival is offering any punters who attended the festival in 2009 a discounted ticket to this year’s event, just head to the festival’s website here for details.
