Two weeks 'til Supersonic: have you got your ticket to the Festival of the Year?
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver June 27th, 2008
and Gary Wolstenholme

This year's Supersonic Festival - named Festival of the Year by our friends at Plan B - is only two weeks away.

If details of the DiS-sponsored three-dayer have previously passed you by, catch up by clicking your way to the official website here, or simply by reading the next paragraph.

Held at Birmingham's Custard Factory arts complex on July 11-13, Supersonic this year sees a host of superb acts perform over a number of stages, indoor and outdoor. Among the bands playing live: Efterklang, Battles, Harvey Milk, Earth, Rolo Tomassi, Alexander Tucker, Harmonia, Gravetemple, Fuck Buttons, Cutting Pink With Knives, Beestung Lips, Wooden Shjips, Fucked Up and many more. Numerous other attractions including talks and film screenings make the festival a must-attend event.

Weekend tickets (£65) and day tickets are available here, and from Rough Trade East in London and Swordfish and Polar Bear in Birmingham.

DiS is excited... how about you?
