New Order's Stephen Morris said, "Playing at Jodrell Bank is going to be really exciting. I grew up not far from there, and I remember riding my bike over to it all the time when I was a little lad.
I saw Flaming Lips play there and they was brilliant. Really special. Were going to try to do something special too, but were not telling you what! I do plan to take my life-size Dalek and Cyberman up there for the weekend at the very least.
Unfortunately it's likely that Gillian will have to spend the whole show blindfolded because she's got a phobia of radio telescopes, so naturally she's terrified of Jodrell Bank. We used to drive past it, and every time she'd need to duck under the dashboard when we got close."
Tickets will priced at £39.50, and go on sale at 9am tomorrow, Friday, 8th March. eFestivals will have links for you to buy them then.
As well as providing an amazing backdrop the telescope will also be serving a secondary purpose as the worlds most incredible projection screen! Throughout the day there will be experiments and workshops along with free access to the visitor centre and in the evening the acts will perform. Jodrell Bank is brought to you by the creative minds behind Kendal Calling festival, The Warehouse Project and Ear To The Ground.
