CLICK ON THE LOGO TO VISIT THE LOVEBOX WEBSITE
21ST - 22ND JULY

Lovebox is fast gaining a reputation for capturing the spirit of Glastonbury (sans mud rivers) right in the heart of London, and this year their bill is enough to make a grown man dribble. For those about to boogie, they’ve got The Rapture and Groove Armarda. For indie genius look no further than the Super Furry Animals or Vincent Vincent and The Villains. Add arts, crafts, fairgrounds and booty, and I think you can say you’re in for a bitchin’ weekend.

To win tickets to the Lovebox Weekender answer this question:
In 2000, the Super Furry Animals recorded a Welsh language album that went top 20. What was it called?

26TH - 29TH JULY

Look at that website. LOOK AT IT! You wanna be there don’t you? The idea for the Secret Garden Party is really simple- rural chill, fantastic bands, and thousands of blissed out revellers. The location itself is kept a secret until the last minute, but rest assured it’ll be a latter day Garden of Eden in which you can make buddies with sexy peaceniks all day long. Most acts are TBA but already confirmed are Noisettes, Alabama 3 and the legendary Echo and The Bunnymen. Tasty, no?

To win 2 guest list passes to the Secret Garden Party, answer this question:
Which gothic High School movie featured Echo and The Bunnymen on the soundtrack performing ‘The Killing Moon’?

And ladies and gentlemen presenting the winners of the Best New Festival Awards 2006, End of the Road Festival! With a bill made up of genuine underground acts (and a couple of big shots) this festie in the middle of Surrey is like ATP in Glasto without the mobile phone sponsorship. Check out this PROMO FILM to see what we mean! Also, apart from films, comedy acts and workshops, you’ll be dazzled by The Bees, Archie Bronson Outfit, Super Furry Animals, Brakes, Pete and The Pirates, Misty’s Big Adventure, Broken Family band, Euros Childs…. it’s going to be cool as feck. So like they say in those Australian tourist ads; "where the bloody hell are you?"

To win two tickets to The End Of The Road Festival, answer the following question;
John Peel dubbed the Misty’s Big Adveture singer ‘God’. But what is his name??

Last year, this "pills and thrills" inspired festival proved that Babyshambles can actually play a coherent gig, and this year is set to be even more unbelievable! Ok, poor joke- but the bill alone is enough to make grown men dance like muppets: The Streets only UK show of 2007, Dizzee Rascal, the Super Furries, The Automatic - all in your back yard! Can you afford not to be there? Er… no, you can’t would be the answer. Get off your ass!

To win two tickets to Get Loaded In the Park (in Cardiff or London) just answer:
Which Record Company opened the Hacienda Nightclub in 1982?
