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."
