"The concepts behind DRILL : FESTIVAL are simple: to challenge preconceptions of Wire. To show-case their impact on and relationship with groups and artists from younger generations, to connect with both new and established artists whose work they find inspiring and feel that they have a kinship with. This then opens up opportunities for one-off collaborations"
The festival will see Wire team up with SWANS to perform an extended version of Wire track ‘Drill’, as well as the return of the historic 'Pinkflag Guitar Orchestra', where the band will be joined onstage by other artists who are involved over the course of the festival, along with local friends, allies and past collaborators, the guitarists will then play an extended, improvised version of Wire's ‘Pink Flag’ at high volume.
Wire and One Inch Badge are delivering their most ambitious festival yet, with upwards of 100 bands, artists, films, talks and exhibitions, across 14 different venues, across 4 days from the 4th to 7th December 2014. Tickets are HERE from Friday 19th September 2014 at 9:00am GMT
