This year's festival will take place at Morecambe again (last
year's was in Blackpool) from June 20th to the 22nd. Check the official
website for ticket prices, hotels, camping and all the necessary travel
information. It has also been revealed that this will be the last HITS Festival
in the UK. The official site explains "We feel that the festival has come
as far as it can - we are struggling to get the larger bands and it has
simply become financially non-viable... The away trips are proving
unsuccessful because of rip-off promoters abroad and the logistics of
making something work that far from home." To finish off the long
running festival with a bang, the promoters intend to make this year's "the
greatest party weekend Punk has ever seen  with over 100 bands on the three
stages and other events throughout the town."
