Light the Fflam: Manics et al. for Wales' big, new fest
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly March 12th, 2007

Some of indie's heaviest weights have been confirmed for the new Fflam weekender, Wales' first major music festival.

Manic Street Preachers and Keane are the biggest names confirmed so far for the three-day event, which takes place from 13-15 July and will be looking to attract up to 30,000 revellers.

Enter Shikari, Placebo and Feeder will also play at Swansea's Singleton Park this Summer. Oh, and some hip new bunch of cats calls themselves The Levellers. Yo ho ho!

I wonder what John Curd, spokesman for Straight Music has to say about all this.

"Our aim is that Fflam will become to Wales what T in the Park is to Scotland," said John.

"We see this as a long-term investment in Wales, driven by our passion for quality music and giving great value for money.

"As well as giving locals the chance to see some of the best live bands around, we are also dedicated to nurturing new talent and the full line up will reflect that. Fflam will put Wales firmly on the festival map for years to come."

Tickets for Fflam went on sale this morning, and will cost you £115 with camping or £100 for the weekend without camping. Day passes are £40.
