TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly March 6th, 2008

Yet more festival news wings its way to DrownedinSound’s embattled inbox – the first acts have been confirmed for this year’s Venn Festival in Bristol.

Taking place from the 5th ‘til the 8th of June, Matmos, Why?, Fuck Buttons, Le Volume Courbe, Munch Munch and One More Grain are among the first batch of names. See the list in full at the end of this article.

This year’s Venn rides in with bigger ideas than ever before, stretching out imperiously to take in a host of unlikely new venues – planetariums, ice rinks, skate parks? Fuck Buttons on ice!
