Pretty vacation!

We're not sure about dyeing, but punk fans will definitely be going to heaven in May when Vicar St. plays host to Holidays In The Sun.

Running from the 17th to 19th, the celebration of all things spiky-haired and bum-flapped features Stiff Little Fingers, The Exploited, Vice Squad, UK Subs, The Damned, 999, Anti-Nowhere League, Penetration, Test Tube Babies, GBH, The Business, TV Smith, Subhumans, The Lurkers and Menace (altogether now: "GLC, GLC, GLC, GLC...you're full of shit, shit, a-shit, shit, shit, shit.")

You can also wallow in new wave nostalgia on January 25th when Jean-Jacques Burnell, Jake Burns, Steve Diggle and Pauline Black join forces for an early evening show in the Temple Bar Music Centre.
