Glasgowbury festival announces line-up

The Norn Iron indie fest returns this July with a host of top local acts including Fighting With Wire and In Case of Fire.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 02 Jun 2009

The first acts have now been announced for the July 25 fest, which takes place in Draperstown, Co. Derry.

Bands include Fighting With Wire, In Case Of Fire, And So I Watch You From Afar, General Fiasco, Henry McCullough, Jaded Sun, Cashier No 9, and The Jane Bradfords.

Now in its ninth year, the festival also has a brand spanking new website, which you can wonder at here.

You can pick up a ticket – priced at a recession-busting £25 – from the website, as well as at independent retailers nationwide.

Currently making all the right noises in the North, Machine Parts is a confident step forward for FWW. They’re starting to sound like a big time rock band, albeit one with a healthy Foo Fighters fixation, and that has to be half the battle.
