Battles, Spiritualized To Play Standon Calling Festival 2011

March 15, 2011
Battles, Spiritualized To Play Standon Calling Festival 2011Battles and Spiritualized will play at this year's Standon Calling, it's been announced.

The event, which takes place in Hertfordshire on August 12-14, will also feature performances from Trophy Wife, Errors and Saul Williams.

The festival is still going ahead despite founder Alex Trenchard being given a 30-month custodial sentence last month (February 2) after pleading guilty to theft and fraud by false representation.

Early bird tickets for this year’s event, which runs from August 11-14, have already sold out.
