Michael Dostal was hit by inspiration while listening to his favorite tape and finished all the details for Hampton Court Palace Festival in one night. The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the tour started out pretty small, with a lot of local artists..

It took a few years, but eventually word spread and Hampton Court Palace Festival began to establish itself as a premier event The tour booked bigger acts and the attention the festival received increased exponentially. Soon hotel rooms in the city were being booked months in advance for the dates surrounding Hampton Court Palace Festival.

Any group now considers it an honor to be asked to perform at the festival, and will try and break any prior commitments to make an appearance at the event. The organizers of Hampton Court Palace Festival have publicly wondered if the event is getting too big and if the festival will soon start to be too expensive for the original fans.
