Its not just the festivals, I saw them headline their own show at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens in 1997 on the E*****s N******s tour,
For those of you aint been I'll explain the wierdness of the town and the venue,you can't go through Cleethorpes, you have to go to it which means only one thing, someone in the band or management thought it might have been a good idea to go there, and the venue was an old Ballroom type venue that was normally* used to holding tea dances and brassbands. anyone else on the board go that show?

I say normally cuz around that time they seemed to be putting on rock bands more than brass bands, A, Groopdogdrill and I think Cable played there with RealTv at some point to and according to Mummy Sarc, the Beatles, Queen and AC/DC played there aswell in their heyday.

I presume it's the Pontins site. Iv'e been there a few times for the Official Queen Fan Club Conventions.

Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God. Thats the weekend of my "ahem" sumtyth life begins at that age birthday. What a way to celebrate!!! Woo Fucking Hoo!! Now where's the missus' credit card - be better than socks again

It's looking like we will be going to this weekend to make up for only going to leeds for the day becuase the lineup for the rest of the days and Download is really not our cup of tea.

so from the look of it the accommodation is in with the ticket price. is it not poossible just to buy a ticket?

The first Hard Rock Hell was absolutely bloody excellent. All tickets were residential last year. Staying on site was fantastic - a five minute stagger from venue to hot shower and comfy bed is not to be sneezed at

If we weren't going to be in Australia in December I would *definitely* already have my ticket...gonna have to studiously avoid this thread from now on!

I would be very surprised if there were not more UK dates around that time, after all it's XMESS!!
UK tour anyone? Would be rude not to, seen as most of the band don't live here anymore and I doubt they'd bother flying half way around the world for a one-off in Prestatyn
Are there more bands TBC? as it's only The Wildhearts and Tigertailz that I would bother with.

Yeah, know what you mean - no matter how they dress it up Thin Lizzy isn't Thin Lizzy without Phil Lynott.

Having said that, saw BLS with Ozzy last year and was actually really surprised how good they were, really enjoyed it.

There were loads on last year, plus they've got six stages to fill this year so there's bound to be some other quality stuff amongst any dross.

whats the score with the tickets? are there no dat passes?

i cant see them n the site.

recon they will be playing the saturday with bls?

No day passes - just the weekend ones with accomodation

CLUTCH have been announced on the HRH site looks like their only IK exclusive aswell..
