Very exciting - different for us in terms of specifically acoustic - but we have a few weeks to get our head around that. They've sold 10,500 tickets for that night, so what a thrill!

viz

Will it be televised? Anyway there'll be loads of ewe chew footage

geepers0677

Hope so. We are on the Pizza Express Stage, really want it to be round, and covered in cheese.

That's fantastic, mate - seriously pleased for you

If you don't mind me asking...how did this come about?

cheers ears!

Basically, I saw that the festival sent a tweet out looking for a few bands to take part, I had a little form to fill in and from something like 600 globally they shortlisted about 50. Based on listening to the band and not facebook likes or voting, this was refreshing to be booked on our music instead! 27 bands from USA and Europe picked, looks like about 8 from the UK.

Well done dude and to be fair your band does sound pretty good, so well deserved.

Nice to see things being done PROPERLY again. IE a band being chosen on the strength of their music. I despise those annoying Facebook updates "like our band for us to get this gig playing with xxx"
It's just a popularity contest and I can't count the amount of times I've witnessed one of those types of bands winning completely unfairly and being out if their depth at the gig.
Congrats on doing it the right way, enjoy the gig!
