West Coast Riot 2013 canceled



Swedens best and biggest punk rock festival West Coast Riot will take a pause during the summer of 2013.
After some sucessful festivals, especially with the summer of 2012´s ultimate line up with Rancid as the main band, the festival think they havn´t been able to get a line up that will match their standards. So they will go for the summer of 2014 instead.

1,2, FUCK YOU PUNK REVIEW feared and thought it was to come. How on earth could they follow up the success  of last summer? Still Im not too pleased with the absent of the summers top event.

Wilko Johnson . Sad News, Very Sad News

Original Posted on Facebook by the Manager of one of the worlds ultimate Guitar heroes.





WILKO JOHNSON – IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy. 

He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity. 

He has just set off on a trip to Japan; on his return we plan to complete a new CD, make a short tour of France, then give a series of farewell gigs in the UK. There is also a live DVD in the pipeline, filmed on the last UK tour.

Wilko wishes to offer his sincere thanks for all the support he has had over his long career, from those who have worked with him to, above all, those devoted fans and admirers who have attended
his live gigs, bought his recordings and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience.

Thank you.

Robert Hoy
(Manager)
