TWIG has just told me that there is a free festival thingymibob in Castlefield Manchester on Saturday!! Here's a link to the information on it and if anyone's interested in goin and also meeting up then let me know please!! I'll go if other people are goin!!

Castlefield is the only place to be this August bank holiday, hosting Gpercussion's five outdoor stages. Now Europe's largest free music festival, Gpercussion (formerly known as such) will fill Castlefield on Saturday, August 3rd, with Manchester's best bands and DJs. The event coincides with the final days of the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Launched in 1996 as a symbol of unity after the city's bombing, the festival has grown into an annual celebration of Manchester's diverse music scene. This year's edition features five stages and a lineup including Alpinestars, 808 State, Rae & Christian, Crazy Penis, Mr Scruff (with a 3-hour set), and Simian. 808 State is also expected to preview collaborations with Guy Garvey (Elbow) and Alabama 3, while Mark Rae will showcase new album material.

As City Life's Luke Bainbridge notes, this free festival, running from 12 pm to midnight just minutes from the city centre, is the perfect way to leave a lasting impression on visitors and athletes.
