On Saturday there's Bad Manners, Spear of Destiny, The Meteors, The 5.6.7.8's, 2-Tonic, The Big, Supatones, and Orange Street. Sunday has Chas 'n' Dave, Musical Youth, The Riffs, Big 10, and Urban Rythm. (The Buzzcocks were confirmed, but have had to cancel). Eddie Tenpole will be a guest presenter along with his performance on Friday, and Mark Lamarr and Jerry Dammers will be appearing as guest D.J.s.
