It's great when you're 8: DiS' birthday bills announced

Happy birthday us! Join us if you can.

DrownedinSound celebrates its eighth anniversary in October - and what better way to get the party started than a couple of special showcases at the beginning of the month? With help from our friends at Concrete & Glass and In The City, we've put together two bumper bills for all you lucky people - full details of which appear below. And at the end of the month we're launching a monthly DiScover Club in Manchester, and celebrating DiS' 8th with The Week That Was in Sheffield. See you... somewhere - it's going to be quite a month!
