Hawkwind UK Tour

07/14/2010
. Hawkwind have announced a major UK tour in December 2010 in support of their new studio album "Blood of the Earth".

The nationwide tour consists of 13 dates and kicks off at the Holmfirth Picturedome on Friday Decemeber 3rd. Support for all dates comes from UK rockers "The Jokers".

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.
