Slam! Bam! Thank you... Grantham?!
domgourlay by Dom Gourlay August 16th, 2007

Not going to V this weekend? (Um, fuck no – Ed) Then why not head to the usually sleepy confines of Grantham.

This coming weekend looks set to be the defining moment of the year in the town of Margaret Thatcher's birth, as on Saturday (August 18th) G-Fest hits the Market Place in the day and the Playhouse at night, playing host to some of Grantham's finest, culminating in some late night revelry courtesy of those loveable scamps Das Disko.

The real action kicks off on Sunday (August 19th) though, as The Black Dog plays host to Summer Slam, a 12-hour extravaganza kicking off at midday. Featuring both an indoor and outdoor stage, admission for this is a mere 5 pounds with the confirmed line-up as follows:

Outdoor stage
I Was A Cubscout
Tonight Is Goodbye
Public Relations Exercise
Rolo Tomassi
Meet Me In St Louis
Cross My Heart
Scared Of Sharks

Dog (indoor) stage
Nightvision
Root
Less Than Nothing
Dead Sentils
Street 45th
Pennyless Ben
August Underground

+ closedown party tunes courtesy of Das Disko.
