===Summary=== |
|||
It follows the adventures of [[King Arthur]], [[Merlin]] and the reincarnated [[Knights of the Round Table]] as they reemerge in the future world of 3000 A.D. to fight off an alien invasion masterminded by Arthur's old nemesis, [[Morgan Le Fay]]. |
|||
The very first Underage Music Festival was held on [[August]] [[10th]], [[2007]], in association with [[Artrocker]] and [[Converse]]. It was open to only 14 - 19 year olds, and took place in [[London]], [[England]]. There were four stages, the [[Radio One]] stage, [[Converse]] in association with [[Artrocker]] Stage, the [[Myspace]] stage, and the [[Converse]] new music stage. |
|||
===2007 Line-Up=== |
|||
Arthur, [[Guinevere]], and [[Lancelot]] are presented more-or-less traditionally as the doomed triangle of lovers. Sir [[Galahad]] is changed from an idealized version of the Christian knight to a [[samurai]] and devout adherent of [[bushido]]. Sir [[Percival]], the ''foolish man slowly wise'' is genetically altered into a monstrous giant but retains his gentle manner. [[Sir Kay]], the court [[churl]], reveals to Arthur that his characteristic obnoxious demeanor was in fact an adopted mannerism affected with the intention of reducing tensions between the members of Arthur’s court, who were subsequently united by their mutual dislike of Kay. |

The band [[XX Teens]] (formerly [[Xerox Teens]]) were in the original line-up, but had to pull out due to album commitments. |
|||
[[Modred]] is not the son of Morgan Le Fay in this version, but the bastard child of Arthur by another woman. After Modred's birth, he had been taken away by a peasant woman to be hidden from Arthur, but she was intercepted by Sirs Kay and Tristan. Arthur then attempted to [[drown]] the baby to keep him from becoming a threat to any legitimate heir, but unknown to Arthur, the baby survived. In the year 3000, Modred is reincarnated as a [[United Nations]] official in league with Morgan Le Fay, and who later fuses the recovered [[Holy Grail]] to a suit of armor. |
|||
===Competition=== |
|||
The most original treatment in the work of any of the Arthurian characters is that of the figure of Sir [[Tristan]], who is unexpectedly reincarnated as a woman. His transformation forces him to reexamine his previous conceptions of [[sex roles|gender roles]] and his own sexuality. Although his relationship with [[Iseult|Isolde]] -- also reincarnated as a woman -- is tested by his new identity, their enduring love for one another eventually triumphs, and the two become lovers. |

[[Artrocker]] held a competition for five readers aged 14 - 19 to attend the festival to report for them and feature in their magazine. The winners were announced on [[30th July]] [[2007]] as follows: |

Ollie Savage - Video |
