Fuck Glasto, Go To Bath
rubbafish by Colin Weston April 27th, 2001
Reports are saying that Van Morrison is to headline the 'alternative Glastonbury' this summer.

It has been stated on peoplesound.com that Supergrass, Morcheeba and Toploader will be joining the singer on a 1,000 people festival entitled 'Babington 24'.

Scheduled to take place in the grounds of Babington House near Bath, titled the "Somerset outpost" of London members club Soho House, on June 24th.

The event has reportedly came about after a deal was struck with Soho House boss Nick Jones and a neighbouring farmer, who will allow music fans to camp at the 24-hour event.
