So from one free, beach-related festival to another. Whilst Hastings may not offer quite the same summer temperatures as Italy's Adriatic coast you can't raise a moan about free shows from the immense Missing Souls and those equally unmissable beat merchants from this side of La Manche The Baron Four.

Brought to you by the good folks at State Records & NGG Fanzine over the weekend of 22-24 July, Beatwave's full details and updates can be found here whilst the full line-up is as follows:-

If you're after some top quality garage rock 'n' roll in the warmer climes of Spain this spring then the Green Fuzz Festival could be the very thing for you.

Preceded by the Green Fuzz Day in March (with performances from The Missing Souls and The Cavemen amongst others) the event is back for a second year towards the end of April with a top notch international line-up featuring the likes of The Jackets, The Anomalys, The Baron Four and The Teamsters. 

As small events go this is pretty small as there are only 300 tickets but that should obviously make for an enjoyably intimate weekend. All this goes on in the Basque region so you're probably looking at a flight to Bilbao and then travel onwards south.

Further details can be obtained here as time goes on & at some point the events website may display 2016 instead of 2015.
