The concerts used to be an annual highlight of Lincoln's live music calendar until Lincoln Castle no longer provided an appropriate home for them.&#xD;
&#xD;
Now they've found a great place to be as the Lincolnshire Events Centre's 205 acre site is the perfect pad for the three gigs taking place on Saturday, May 14, Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24.&#xD;
&#xD;
The acts have yet to be announced but Chris Moreno says he is hoping to have the full line-up fixed and tickets ready to go on sale by the end of October - so watch this space!</description></item><item><title>New charity to hold launch event in Epic Centre</title><link>http://www.lincolnshireshowground.co.uk/page.php?id=10&amp;amp;args=post:113</link><description>Rhythm For Hope's mission is to use music as a vehicle for learning and development for at risk children in third world countries.&#xD;
