Hawkwind Ready For December 2010 UK Tour & Hawkfest Returns

Legendary space rockers Hawkwind will embark on a major UK tour in December 2010 in support of their new studio album 'Blood of the Earth'.
The nationwide 'Blood of the Earth' tour consists of 13 dates across England and Scotland, which kick off at the Holmfirth Picturedome on Friday Decemeber 3rd.
In addition to the UK tour, Hawkwind will appear at "HAWKFEST 2010" next month, which returns to Afton Farm on the Isle Of White. Curated by the members of Hawkwind, Hawkfest takes place between August 27th and 29th. Hawkfest originally came about after the breakdown of the free festival movement in the mid to late 1980's. The band felt that major festivals had lost what made them great. Gone was the intimate, carnival atmosphere and the colourful characters, only to be replaced with huge-scale commercialism.
Wanting to get back to the roots of what made festivals so enjoyable, Hawkwind constructed a family friendly event where children could play and explore, whilst parents watched great music, safe in the knowledge that the kids would be safe. Tickets for Hawkfest are priced at £70, for further info visit www.hawkfest.com.
