Following our announcement that we will be holding a fundraising night on March 30th at Nation in Liverpool helping us to remember those who lost their lives in the A3 coach crash following last year’s Bestival, we’re very pleased to be able to announce a whole host of Liverpool’s finest and Bestival’s best for Bestival At Nation.

Heading up the live music action on the night will be Ian McCulloch with Ian Broudie, two Liverpool legends who originally found fame in the early 80s Eric’s scene. Between them Echo and the Bunnymen and The Lighting Seeds have racked up numerous chart hits and become part of the fabric of rock n roll and the pairs own musical relationship stretches as far back as the Bunnymen’s debut album Crocodiles in 1980, so it’s a real honour for us that they’ve agreed to take part in our fundraiser.  We’ll also have the previously announced The Cuban Brothers dropping the party funk and b-boy moves in their own inimitable style, electronic trio Is Tropical, electro rockers Killaflaw and sets from the hotly tipped The Tea Street Band and future guitar duo Hoodie Ledbetter.

As anyone who has been to Bestival will know it’s not just about the music and we have some real treats lined-up for you including a spoken word set from the world’s most lauded trafficker of illicit substances, Howard Marks aka Mr. Nice. Plus we’ll have a rare screening of one of the best concert films from recent years, The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think.

In the spiritual home of Cream we will of course have a corking DJ line-up that will include a very special guest synonymous with rocking the dancefloor in the past 20 years, with Bestival curator and Radio 1 leftfield behemoth Rob da Bank, a selection of Liverpool’s finest including Steve Parry, Chris McGee, Dave Whelan, Phil Fearon and James Silk plus Bestival’s own Little Chief.

The monies raised from the night will go to the immediate parents or guardians of festivalgoers Michael Molloy and Kerry Ogden who lost their lives in the accident and Zach Washington-Young who suffered life changing injuries.

Tickets priced £16.25 (including booking fee) are available now from Ticketline. Please join us on Saturday 30th March.

We’re all going to die! Maybe. According to the ancient Mayan civilisation, the end of the world will take place this December.

The 12/12/12 date marks the end of the Mayan calendar, and the world is supposed to end on 21/12/12 – the day of the winter solstice.

Irreverent UK record label Wall Of Sound thinks that if we’re all going to die, we may as well go out in style! So it’s announcing the Wall Of Sound ‘End Of The World’ tour, taking in some of the key towns and cities around the UK.

Defying the apocalypse, and hopefully with tongues in cheek, Wall Of Sound acts new and old will tour the UK with the overwhelming feeling that it’s the end of the world as we know it… and they feel fine.

Dates include, Liverpool, Bath, London and Southend.

Wall of Sound is a unique, alternative record label based in the UK, founded by Mark Jones. It started out producing electronic music genres but evolved into music of all forms. Over the last 18 years Wall of Sound has been responsible for some of the biggest dance and indie artists the world has seen, including Propellerheads, Jacques Lu Cont, Royksopp, Felix Da Housecat, The Bees, Scala and the Kolachny Brothers, I Am Kloot, Mogwai, Tiesto, Reverend And The Makers and Grace Jones to name but a few.

Dave O'Grady, Luke Fenlon, Sharp Darts, The Silence and The Guilt Charm

Born from the influences of the rave scene and the rock driven sound of the likes of Led Zeppelin, Killaflaw are an explosive act. They consist of Benn Helm on main vocals and guitar with Andy Paton providing synths, samplers, drum machines, occasional vocal harmonies and trumpet. DJ set from Liverpool band Kids on Bridges.

Dave O’Grady is a singer/songwriter originally from Ireland now based in the UK combine folk and blues and makes it his own.

It is hard to comprehend that Liverpool born Luke Fenlon is still only 20 years of age. His tender age belies the experience he has gained in his musical career. The ink is still wet on his musical birth certificate yet already he has toured several continents and signed a worldwide publishing deal.

His songs are simple stories of love, life and death that have pervaded his life so far. He conjures up endless comparisons of a young Dylan combined with the street sound of Scouse mates The Las.

Sharp Darts are 5 piece band from Bradford, Yorkshire, formed in 2005. They take the traditional Indie/Rock sound and do something which is "distinctly Sharp Darts" with it. Using a unique blend of riffs, grooves and melodies, Sharp Darts create an impressive 'wall of sound' both live and in the studio.

The Silence are a fresh new four piece band hailing from the sunny shores of Brighton. Together since November 2007 the band have been hard at work perfecting their sound ready for live performances and recording.

The Guilt Charm are a northern band born out of the breakup of others and chance meetings on winter mornings. Taking a side step from indie and staying clear of American Rock The Guilt Charm reside somewhere back in the late 60's and early 70's where guitar driven blues inspired music is still loved by all, drugs are clean and music is pure.
