Nope, would love to bit it wont happen cos I'm away.

Wasted Festival 2005!

WASTED FESTIVAL
Morecambe,
England
19th - 22nd May 2005.
INFO: www.holidaysinthesun.net

Well unfortunately there is no stop-off for Ireland this year (not that Vicar Street would have allowed it again), but the Morecambe UK weekend looks like a blinder. Ireland are brilliantly represented in the shape of Blood Or Whiskey / Striknein / The Steam Pig & The Undertones.

Those of you who are fans of Channel 4's 'Faking It' programme should remember 'The Dead Pets', their lead singer pulled a blinder by conducting an orchestra, arguably one of the best reality TV slots ever aired, don't expect the same at this show!

Some of the line-up:

THE EXPLOITED / UK SUBS / ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE / GBH / SHAM 69 / THE CRACK / THE DEAD PETS / BLOOD OR WHISKEY / THE STRANGLERS / THE UNDERTONES / ANGELIC UPSTARTS / THE OPPRESSED / THE SUBHUMANS / 999 / THE REZILLOS / PENETRATION / CHELSEA /
TV SMITH & BAND / GOLDBLADE / THE BUSINESS / VICE SQUAD / PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES / THE VARUKERS / ONE WAY SYSTEM / P.A.I.N / STRIKNIEN / RED ALERT and loads more!

Morecambe 19 - 22 May 2005
Weekend ticket £75

i was there, went in at like 6:50pm because there was no readmission, so once u out, u cant get back in, GBH played at 6:50, everyone was good except "the beat" and the stranglers. The buzzcocks, gbh and slf were pretty dam good.

Why did the Stranglers / The Beat not deliver, or are you a purist about original line-up's only?
