Give It A Name doubles up

United Kingdom | 11 January 2006

Give It A Name has unveiled plans to become Europe's biggest indoor rock festival, with two separate bills swapping between London and Manchester over one April weekend. Want to know who's playing?

Lost Prophets and My Chemical Romance will headline the twin city event, with all the action unfolding over the weekend of 29-30 April.

The rock fests will take place in London's Earls Court and the Manchester Evening News Arena with two massive bills swapping between locations after their respective shows on Saturday night.

Other bands announced to the lineup include Under Oath, Taking Back Sunday, Goldfinger, The Bled, and Silverstein with more still to be confirmed. See below for the full lineup.

Day tickets can be bought for £28.50 or you can take in the whole weekend for £55. Tickets will be available from 9am Friday, 13 January.

A spokesman for the event said: "Last year's Give It A Name was the largest indoor all day rock event in the UK and Give It A Name 2006 is going to be even bigger. After selling out last year's one day London event in a week, it will now cover London and Manchester over two days with two stages at each venue - making it the biggest indoor rock weekender in Europe."
