SKINS GOSSIP

The long awaited second series of Skins is on the horizon, and those hip and happening TV producers have decided to raise the profile of their show by putting on a string of parties to celebrate.

Maximo Park, New Young Pony Club and Pendulum are some of the acts to follow in the footsteps of Foals and play a special tour in association with the drama ‘Skins’ along with Crystal Castles, The Metros , Late Of The Pier and The Courteeners. The new episode will also be viewed at these media extravaganzas – that is if all those crazy hipsters haven’t trashed the screens and used the glass to snort drugs in to their face holes.

In tune with their oh-so-contemporary style of promotion, tickets are on sale via the Channel 4 website on the 17th of January, or alternatively on Bebo and MySpace.
