Just in case you were thinking that the summer festival and tour calendar was impossibly crowded in Australia, think again – particularly if you’re of the metal/punk persuasion. The No Sleep Til Festival was announced overnight and it features a suitably eclectic metal/punk line up. Headlined by Megadeth, The Descendents, GWAR, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, the festival will be making a very fast run around Australia in the lead up to Christmas. Let’s hope the not so little kids have plenty of coins at the end of their wallet chains.
