With 999 pulling out, the festival bill-toppers will now be the legendary Splodgenessabounds.

Known for their pranks and general silliness, the band appeared on Harry Hill’s TV Burp in 2006 after being featured on Rock School with Gene Simmons.

The New Cross wants to become a music venue and all monies raised by this festival will go towards an in-house PA system and gig equipment.

Ten bands will play including March to the Grave, First Wave and Hung Like Hanratty.

The line up is completed by Fight Back, Scared, Filth and Fury, The Imposters, and Sour Blisters.

Admission will be £9.99.
