And the coverage that Jersey will receive is likely to be substantial.
Not only will the national press be making the trip across the water, including 21 photographers and reporters from 13 media outlets, but there are plans to screen parts of the festival on ITV2 in the weeks following the event.
Organiser Warren Le Sueur said that Jersey Live was now, officially, on the map.
Three weeks of advertising in NME as well as reports on numerous festival websites and in UK gig guides have resulted in the ticket allocation outside the Island selling out almost as quickly as here.
And assistant Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean says that not only has this year’s festival generated a hive of national media attention, it has also brought thousands of young people to the Island.
