Feeling pretty happy about my ticket purchase now - Gang of Four (allegidely), Wire, Maccabees, Prinzhorn Dance School, Tom McRae and now Johnny Foreigner, The Strange Death of Liberal England etc.

This is the sort of lineup I want. And 45 quid???

Happy.

Same here

I think this one looks a cracker


.

With all this news of festival folding, I reckon it's ones like this that will survive. You can see Lightspeed Champion/Foals/Chrystal Castles/etc at any festival this summer - they're doing something different and fucking cheaply.

Plus it usually pisses down in May/June - i don't understand why people think that's summer?! August and September are usually really decent for weather


Have JoFo just been added then?

Didn't see their name on the website when I looked a few days ago.

I have high hopes for this festie.


That's £45 for two days

isn't it?


^ Yep

Including camping


that was for early birds...

but £55 is still well reasonable, or £45 w/o camping.


^not including camping

but still a really good deal.


we've just been asked to play this :)

It is gang of four playing. We were told in the email sent to us. Also Die! Die! Die! and Dananan etc
Such a good line up. I can't wait to play.


Yep

My band just got added to this and the secret guest headliner does appear to be gang of four. Looks like a decent little festival.


cool

we applied to play this, didnt hear nuthin back tho :(


I didn't know

People applied to play Festivals. Well, I guess yr booking agent may put you forward but still...


they have a new bands tent

and an on line form where you can apply to play.

this is a great idea and i think this festival is looking to be one of the best this summer.

and Wire are playing so it's a winner!


Are Suicide playing

that would probably swing it for me.


Suicide are awful these days

really, really embarassing.


no!

Old, but entertaining. Alan's wig is outstanding. They seem really sweet.


also

exit calm are playing it. incredible live!
