UK ROCKERS SikTh have announced a series of weekend-only all-day events for July of this year. All of the bands on the 'Death Of A Week Day' package have been chosen by different members of SikTh - the result being an eclectic line-up of acts, some of whom will be known to UK fans and some of whom are new to the scene.

The list of guesting bands is as follows, although the order of play may vary from town to town...


* ARCHITECTS (chosen by SikTh bassist James Leach; Architects appeared with SikTh on the latter's last UK tour)

* CRY FOR SILENCE (chosen by SikTh guitarist Dan Weller, who has been heavily involved in the production of their debut album)

* BIOMECHANICAL (chosen by SikTh guitarist Pin)

* TED MAUL (chosen by SikTh drummer Dan 'Loord' Foord)

* MALEFICE (chosen by SikTh vocalist Justin Hill, who is going to be co-producing the band's debut album)
