Wicked!

Fresh from their conquering of Fairyhouse, Primal Scream return to Ireland on September 8th as Sunday night headliners of fab two-day festival Vital '02.

Taking place in Belfast's Botanic Gardens, the Sunday lineup also features Badly Drawn Boy, Idlewild and local heroes Snow Patrol. Tickets priced £25.50stg per day, are on sale now from the usual outlets nationwide.

Meanwhile, if you're curious about the Scream Team's new album, Evil Heat, check out Eamon Sweeney's review in the new issue of Hot Press on sale this Thursday. Which has those nice Stereophonics boys on the cover.

Lastly, as revealed on hotpress.com last week, day one of Vital - Saturday the 7th - finds Fatboy Slim, Stereo MCs, Pacha Futura, Alan Simms and Phil Kiernan doing their dance thing in the Gardens. Should be a great one...
