Any remaining Wristbands will be given out one hour before stage time on a first come first served and a on a one wrist band per person basis.
Hello!
As events relentlessly continue to unfold inside the confines of Camp Hot Chip, we can reveal some diverting facts and interesting details of our plans for next year. There will be a new album, set for release in February, to warm the cockles of your soul right in the middle of the bleak mid-winter. We're just completing the finishing touches right now, and we're also gearing up for a return, possibly triumphant, to the live arena, as a UK tour is also in the offing for February.
If any of that information floats your boat, then you can sign up to pre-order the album, get tickets for the tour and receive a new track here...
