Mark has been booked for England's End of the Road Festival in September at Larmer Tree Gardens, North Dorset, England.  No details on whether it will be Sun Kil Moon or Mark solo.

Dear Friends,

We are super excited to share with you the first bunch of bands confirmed for End of the Road in September, which will be officially announced next week, so you're the first ones to know.

The bands are:
Mercury Rev, Micah P Hinson, Mountain Goats, Sun Kil Moon / Mark Kozelek, Two Gallants, Jeffrey Lewis, Jason Molina, A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Bob Log III, The Wave Pictures and Friska Viljor.

We feel that all these amazing artists and bands are a great start for what's to come and we believe this year is gonna be a sell-out, wohooo!  And don't worry - we're keeping the capacity at the intimate number of 5,000.

We look forward to seeing you in September!

Cheers,

Simon & Sofia

Thanks Guy for the info!
