[Mindless all the way]

I do like the look of it, the pendragon arena looks fucking wicked. But its also fairly costly, and I'm not at my richest right now. Are all those listed below playing on the 3rd?

That previous link may not work so EssentialFestival (http://www.essentialfestival.com/) ...and the Line-up! (http://www.essentialfestival.com/london/bare/lineup.html)

All those I listed + more are playing on the 3rd (Essential Kiss Day). It looks the better of the two days but as you said it does seem expensive, £37.50 for the one day, or £65 for both + booking fee.

I've never been so I might be tempted if I can raise the cash.

[Nice Kick]

I might go too, Hackney Marsh is a massive place (in london standard) so should be cool.
