It turns out our pals PET NEEDS are playing just down the road in Leeds on the Friday of this year's One For The Road.

We know some of you will probably want to go to that one.

Would there be any interest in Saturday/Sunday combo tickets that would be a little bit cheaper than the full weekend price? (Not sure we can refund any weekend tickets already purchased, but maybe Friday entries could be gifted forwards if you can't make it?)

We're confident that Meryl Streek will still have The Fulford Arms packed out on Friday, so let's focus on what the DIY scene is all about and find a way to help eachother out!

We're incredibly excited to finally be revealing the full lineup for this year's One For The Road.

Why has it taken until tonight? Well that's because of what's happening right now at The Fulford Arms - a Headsticks show! We're really happy to announce they'll be back as our Saturday night headliners.

Last year we stumbled upon something great, while trying to avoid disaster. When Samantics double booked himself like a silly goose, we decided the best way to make it work was to have him on at 1pm so that he could still make it to his other show. It actually worked really well, having one of your favourite acts of the weekend opening the Saturday, so this year we've asked B-Sydes to open the show. And of course, Samantics will be back for an evening slot as originally planned last year.

Our pals Sing Ramona Sing had to drop out at the last minute last year, making it the first time they hadn't played. They'll be back this year though!

We've got a couple of people playing OFTR for the first time too - Amy Rae- Musician and Old Man Boom will be making their debuts!

Our favourite Canadian, Rob Moir will also be coming back. Rob is amazing, and one of the nicest humans you'll ever meet!

Finally, also playing for the first time, is Lyon Estates. Half the band play every year in other bands or solo, so it doesn't feel like a first time, but it is. If you like pop punk anthems with awesome harmonies, these are the band for you!

So there we have it! Only 30 weekend entry tokens left. Day passes are on sale now as well! The day splits are available on the link below.

Morning pals

Our good buddy Nick Parker Music is playing a show in York this weekend.

It's at The Black Swan, which is a lovely little venue that we used to put shows on at all the time. It'll be nice to go back.

We'll be spending our Saturday evening there, and we think you should too.

See you at the bar!

Morning pals. Happy Friday!

We're over the moon to announce that on the Sunday of this year's One For The Road, the absolutely amazing Tim Vantol will be joining us. Tim has played some of the biggest band best festivals around Europe to tens of thousands of people, so it's a real honour to be adding OFTR to that list!

Of course, OFTR is all about cold beers and warm hearts, so it's no surprise that Katie MF will be back once again.

Arms & Hearts is one of a shrinking number of bands that have played every single One For The Road so far, and we're not about to break that run any time soon! We bloody love em!

And while we're on the topic of regulars, it just wouldn't be the same without Nottingham's favourite reprobates, George Gadd + The Aftermath would it?

Supergroup is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but when your lineup features members of Sunliner, Random Hand and Just Another Warning, we think that qualifies. Don't miss Heavyset for some big folk-punk vibes not too dissimilar to the pre-Sunliner sounds of Jake & The Jellyfish!

We're also giving you some big anthemic punk rock from the south coast in the form of Harker! They played for us a few years ago and were brilliant, so this will be fun!

Get your Dr Martens on and be prepared to swirl your ponytails to some heavy riffs! Oxygen Thief is here with the full band! It's going to be loud!

Rounding off this one is someone who's first time at OFTR a few years ago had us absolutely stunned. We know you're a lovely respectful audience all the time, but we've never seen a room fall silent in the way it did when Ed Poole Music played. It was amazing, and we know it will be again!

There it is folks. There are only about 40 of the things that get you in for the full weekend left. Day passes will be out next month after the final announcement on 21st March, where we'll also be revealing our Saturday night headliner!
