The 405 News Roundup (26/05/09)

Today's roundup includes La Route Du Rock, Latitude Festival, Simian Mobile Disco and Theoretical Girl. La Route Du Rock It's festival week here at The 405 which = us talking about festivals so you know which one you should attend. The only problem with the festival week idea is that we can only cover a certain amount of them, which means festivals like La Route Du Rock (pictured above) get pushed to one side. For a start it's in a beautiful location (Brittany) and secondly it includes an amazing line-up (My Bloody Valentine/Horrors/Tortoise etc). So we definitely recommend this festival too. Someone get me a ticket! http://www.laroutedurock.com/pages/english.htm Latitude Festival The following additions have been made to this years amazing Latitude Festival: Datarock, Marnie Stern, iLiKETRAiNS, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, 65 Days Of Static, Asaf Avidan and The Mojos. www.latitudefestival.co.uk/home/ Simian Mobile Disco Simian Mobile Disco have announced a string of live dates!
