Here is a feed of some of the latest developments for DV8Fest

Screaming Banshee Aircrew announce DV8Fest to be final gig

We are sad but proud to announce that DV8Fest will be the site for the last performance by the Trash Vogue pioneers, Screaming Banshee Aircrew. This has extra poignancy for festival organiser, Chris Sherrington, who was lucky enough to give SBA their first ever gig in November 2001. "I am saddened by the news that SBA will not be performing after DV8, especially as they have just released their best album yet and are at the height of their performance talents. SBA have been one of the most creative and challenging bands on the UK goth scene and it will be diminished by their demise, however we hope to see them again in other forms"

SBA are performing on Saturday 17th July at The Duchess

We are happy to announce that a variety of affordable accommodation is available from York University's Conference Centre with rooms available from £14.
