Hawkwind have released tickets specially for Islanders.
MUSICHAWKWIND have released a limited number of tickets especially for Islanders for their 40th anniversary festival next weekend, August 27 to 29.
Forty years after they famously protested about over commercialisation of the last great IW Festival, Hawkwind will return to the Island to headline Hawkfest at Afton Down.
The line-up also includes Girlschool, Here and Now, former Hawkwind producer Dick Taylor from the Pretty Things, Mr Quimby’s Beard, Krankschaft, the Lloyd Langton Group, Syren and Hawkwind offshoot band TOSH (Technicians of Spaceship Hawkwind).
With more acts still to be announced, organisers say it will be the strongest Hawkfest line up ever.
Application forms for tickets can be downloaded from the Hawkwind website at www.hawkfest.com.
