A TWO-DAY music festival will rock Bolton this weekend.

Local bands are getting together to raise money for the victims of the tsunami which struck in South-east Asia on Boxing Day.

Groups playing at Horwich Leisure Centre include WhateverEND, The Kiss Off, The Capture, Mannekin John and Minions of Jeffrey, who will perform on Saturday and Sunday with each session costing £2.50.

Both shows start at 2pm.

Cllr Martyn Cox, Bolton Council's executive member for culture, said: "Everyone is keen to play some part in helping the Tsunami Disaster Fund and this is an excellent idea.

"I hope people will come along and support the event."

Tickets are available from the Albert Halls box office, any council-run leisure centre or on the door.
