 New - Dep Diary Due to popular demand (you know who you are!), Lemonrock has created a brand new Dep Diary in addition to its already successful public diary that shows free dates for bands and venues. If you are available for gigs as an individual, you simply use your existing profile, or you can create a new artist profile, and add your details.

 Lemonrock opens up to festivals and competitions Lemonrock, the UK's best interactive gig guide, has expanded its listings to allow up to 50 bands to be added to any gig.
