This might be a little too late for some of you but I couldn't find anything about it on the site and it might be of use to someone I suppose.
I got the following email from Virtual Fesivals:
The Countdown to V is on. The stages are going up. The beer kegs are rolling in. Before the whole thing kicks off, Virgin Mobile has invited 3 of the best new bands to play a warm up gig for you! They will hit the stage at the Carling Academy 2 Newcastle on August 1st and Carling Academy 2 Bristol on August 2nd.
CHECK OUT THE LINE UP:
Lorraine - Ones to watch. The best new electro-pop band to come out of Norway since A-Ha.
The Crimea - Loved by the late John Peel, the boys are creating quite a name for themselves on the indie circuit.
The Young Knives - Opened the mighty V Festival last year, after romping home to victory in the Road to V competition.
HOW TO GET FREE GIG TICKETS
It's easy. Are you a Virgin Mobile Customer? Grab your phone and simply text your chosen venue and the number of tickets you want (up to four) to 26666 e.g "Newcastle three", but hurry it is first come first served. Texts cost 3p from a Virgin Mobile phone.
Not a Virgin Mobile Customer? Tickets are available from Venue Box Offices or Credit Card Bookings call 0870 771 2000 (at normal call rate) or go to www.ticketweb.co.uk. Alternatively throw your hat in the ring and go to www.virginmobilelouder.com to go in the draw to win a pair of tickets!
VIP TREATMENT
At the pre-V warm up gig, if your a Virgin Mobile customer, you can use your phone to get more. You'll be able to:
* Text the band
* Flash-it at the bar for a free beer or two.
Plus, there's a chance to meet the bands backstage by texting us the best question of the night!
WIN V FESTIVAL TICKETS
At the gig we're also giving one lucky punter the chance to win a pair of V Festival camping tickets. Plus, a pair of deeply desirable Motorola V3iMs for you and your mate. Brilliant!
I hope they haven't already run out of tickets - not having a Virgin mobile ( anyway I lost my Orange one tonight :mad: ) I can't check.
