HAWKWIND
HAWKESTRA; 'THE LINE UP FROM '69 THROUGH THE AGES OF TIME' LIVE ALL NIGHT @
BRIXTON ACADEMY SATURDAY OCTOBER 21ST 2000.

Every existing member of groundbreaking space/acid/psychedelic rock band
Hawkwind, whose 1972 hit 'Silver Machine' single is currently airing on UK
TV screens as the soundtrack of Mazda's car advertising campaign, will be
reuniting for 'Hawkestra', a one-off show at Brixton Academy on Saturday
21st October 2000. Tickets, priced £18.50, are on sale now from the box
office on 020 7771 2000 and all usual outlets.

Main man Dave Brock will be reunited with Ian 'LEMMY' Kilmister and Nik
Turner along with most members of the 70-76 line up for the first time in 25
years, fronting a marathon three hour set (11.00 - 2.00) during which every
Hawkwind band member that is alive, able or still plays will at some stage
through the evening play on numbers they originally performed. The light
show will be the original one designed by the legendary Liquid Len.

The following night, Motorhead, whose concert moniker is, '25 Years - Paid
Up Front', will be celebrating their 25th Anniversary and similarly promise
