Live Music
What would a festival be without music? The main music stage this year will be in the top field of the site close to the rest of the action, and will be a more stripped down sound compared to last year. We'll also be having an acoustic performance area. In the spirit of the Festival, we've chosen bands that will give you something to think about as well as entertain, and between bands you'll get short talks from various speakers and campaigners.
Main stage lineup
- Radical Glastonbury legends Seize the Day will be headlining the main stage
- Bedale-based US chart toppers The Conspirators
- The Silent Fears
- An acoustic set from punk/ska rockers Thatchers Bush
- Section 30
- Dark Roads
- The Will Richards Band
