Local rock group highlight of youth arts festival

InterAct 2010 will kick off with an Opening Night Party on Friday 30th July with bOUNCE Junior, and wind up with a Wrap-Up Party on Thursday August 5, with a night headlined by Fighting With Wire.

The opening night party sees bOUNCE Junior (Kwame & Justiy Just) VS Project Candy (Sean Doherty and Gerard O'Brien) hitting the decks. bOUNCE Junior DJs and other special guests will be dropping in and mixing out on the night with F12 providing the visuals.

The set-up for all-ages standing gigs alters the Forum as you know it.

All seats in the stalls are removed, the hydraulic floor is lowered, and the stage is dominated by a gauze backdrop onto which F12 will project their transfixing visuals.

Londonderry rock group Fighting With Wire will play the Thursday, August 5, Wrap-Up Party, as a precursor to the release of their new album 'Bones of the Twilight.'

The album, their follow-up to 'Man Vs Monster,' is currently being recorded at Dark Horse Recording Studios in Nashville with legendary producer Nick Raskulinecz.

They will be back in the country before then to play the Glasgowbury Festival on July 24 before headlining at the Forum.

Support on the night comes form Belfast's More Than Conquerors, and Londonderry bands Intermission and Heavy Set Bayonet.
