End Of The Road Festival – line-up confirmed

• 2nd Aug 2006

Have you ever played that game where you each choose your dream line-up for your very own imaginary festival?

I have. My line-ups usually consist of all those little indie-pop bands that never leave their (often Scandinavian) hometowns, elusive folk singers, CocoRosie, and usually a few dead people. Oh and Hefner circa 1999 are nearly always headlining.

Well, I can't guarrantee you the Beatles, or Elvis pre-71, or even Nirvana. But at The End of the Road Festival, you'll certainly see a line-up of bands that'll make your little indie heart swoon.

This is a festival created by people who care about seeing small bands they love, play to audiences who love them. In a stunning setting too.

So have a gander at the line-up, pull out your corduroy trousers, and get your ticket for the shoe-gazing event of the season.
