Lineup changes

Unfortunately Fighting With Wire have had to cancel their appearance at this year’s festival. Shame!

We’ve lined up Irish instrumentalists And So I Watch You From Afar to join the bill instead. They’re about to race around the country on a Rocksound sponsored tour, and we’re fairly sure they’ll tear your ears off.

Final names!

Here are the final names for 2008’s festival:

4 or 5 Magicians (UK, This Is Fake DIY Records >>> myspace)
Joe Gideon & The Shark (UK >>> myspace
William (UK, Tough Love Records >>> myspace

This brings us to a grand total of 34 bands playing across the weekend!

Tickets for the festival are available now from lastminute.com and We Got Tickets. Why not check us out on Last FM and Facebook as well?

New names!

Unfortunately, both Hooray for Humans and Panther have had to pull out of the festival. However, we’ve got a whole bunch of new names to announce in their place!
