99 Fest Day 1 @ The Salutation Inn

Sat, Aug 29 · 3:00 PM BST

Ye Olde Salutation Inn, 73-75 Maid Marian Way, NG1 6AJ, Nottingham, GB

So, 99 Fest is back, and this time, they are doing a two day festival!!

I'm only able to make the first day, which has 9 bands on for just over £1 a band!!! This year includes a Weezer tribute band, so that could be interesting!

I'm especially looking forward to Margaret's Milk Machine, Parallel States (who are playing both days as it's their festival!) and Soaper, and there's a few new bands on for me too.

I've set up a single group chat for both days, but I'll only be attending/hosting the first day, as mentioned

Group chat:
99 Fest @The Sal/The Mist 29&30/8

Tickets for the Saturday are just over £9, and the Sunday just over £7, so a bargain all round!

Johnny Foreigner @ JT Soar w/ Victor Villarreal & Every Face Becomes A Skull

Thu, Sep 3 · 6:30 PM BST

JT Soar, Aberdeen Street, Nottingham, GB

Johnny Foreigner return with a small set of *very* intimate shows for them, and come to JT Soar on September 3rd, which is quite a coup!

There's only a couple of ticket left, so this *will* sell out, if it hasn't already when you get to see this!

Also on the lineup is Victor Villarreal from Chicago, and one of my fave Notts band Every Face Becomes A Skull

Tickets are £15.40 in advance from:
JOHNNY FOREIGNER / VICTOR VILLARREAL (USA) / EVERY FACE BECOMES A SKULL

No Facebook event for this, but we have a group chat set up for this at:
