Best start catching up on your sleep in advance...

The Insomniac's Ball returns to London later this year, at the SEOne Club.

The all-nighter - from seven in the evening 'til six the next morning - takes place on the night of November 25. Bands confirmed to appear include:

The Young Knives
White Rose Movement
Dead Disco
Roland Shanks
Rumble Strips
Neils Children
The Blood Arm

Some seventeen bands in total will appear on five stages, and a slew of DJs will play sets through 'til sunrise. Tickets are probably on sale... somewhere.

£4 a bottle last year

according to my mates. They also said it was really badly organised. Hmm.

and it was £4 for a can of stella

it was ridiculous.

the drinks are going to be cheaper this year

so I've heard.

I thought it was very well organised, apart from the drinks prices though. It all seemed to run smoothly, I just didn't have a great time.

The Transgressive fabric night was the same night I seem to remember

and I wanted to go to that, but my mates already had insomniacs tickets. Damn them.

I just heard security were wankers

I went last year..

and somebody had a real go at me for just wearing a t-shirt and jeans and not looking like a scenester wanker.

I thought that was a little harsh.
