Brenton Brown and Ben Cantelon joining Creation Fest

South African worship leader and songwriter, Brenton Brown, and Canadian worship leader Ben Cantelon are the latest acts to be added to the Creation Fest line-up.

The free festival is taking place in Wadebridge’s Royal Cornwall Showground from 4 to 10 August 2012.

Brenton is the writer of popular worship songs such as "Your Love Is Amazing", "Lord Reign in Me", and "Hosanna (Praise is Rising)".

After contracting Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a debilitating medical condition, a dramatic revelation of God’s sustaining power to transform everything was revealed to him. Out of this came the modern-day classic "Everlasting God".

Brenton will make numerous appearances during the festival. He is one of the acts to perform on the main stage on the first day of the festival and will lead worship for the Sunday morning service on 5 August. Later in the day, he'll be taking part in a special Meet the Band session.

He says, “Creation Fest is one of the coolest festivals in the world and one of my favourite in England. We can’t wait to get there. We played it once before and it was one of our favorite memories of that trip to England.”

Ben is based at Holy Trinity Brompton and a key leader in Worship Central. He will take to the stage on 7 August during the evening session in The Big Shed.

In addition to music performances, there will be a skate park where pro skaters will be running skate demos, clinics and workshops.

The Zone offers a space where people from the ages of 12 to 19 can come for Bible teaching and worship seminars.

Creation Kids is the place for the under 12s to enjoy music, games, crafts, and various activities.

There will be a full programme of sports throughout Creation Fest, including football, rugby, frisbee, basketball and rounders.

Organisers are partnering with More Than Gold to provide live streaming of the Olympic Games so that sports fans won't miss out.
