Thursday 8th of May 2008

With just under 10 weeks to go to this years LOTF things are hotting up, and we don't just mean the weather...  Added to the main stage line-up, two bands we're extremely excited to invite down to Merton Farm - proud owners of this years best album to date and Indie darlings The Mystery Jets and one of the most amazing live bands on the planet - Holy Fuck.  How d'ya like them apples?...

Earlybirds Done....

Wednesday 7th of May 2008

Our extended Earlybird ticket offer has just finished.  If you weren't quick enough to get one then sorry, but we did give you a fair chance, extending the offer almost 14 days beyond intended.  And if you did get one, congratulations, because this years LOTF is shaping up to be the bestest ever.  Official totals look like we've sold over 6 times as many tickets as we had done at this point last year, and with 9 weeks to go you can bet your bottom dollar Merton Farm is gonna rock come July 11th.
