Bearded Theory's Spring Gathering

Placebo, The Flaming Lips, Patti Smith, The Hives, Craig Charles & Amy Macdonald

In a UK festival exclusive, alt-rock pioneers Placebo will open the festival on the Friday night. With a career spanning more than 20 years and their eighth studio album in the pipeline this will be a rare opportunity to experience hits from an incredible back catalogue and a tantalising taste of some brand-new material.

Elsewhere on the line up critically acclaimed as one of the world’s best live acts, Swedish rock band The Hives will be a Bearded Theory highlight. Twenty years since they first set the music world on its head with the release of their debut album ‘Barely Legal’ and with countless awards to their name, expect a superhuman live show you won’t want to miss.

Punk-folksinger-songwriter Frank Turner and his band The Sleeping Souls will take to the stage with an impressive eight album back catalogue filled with classic singalongs. One of the UK’s most successful solo artists of the past decade, Frank Turner will be one of the most unmissable acts of the weekend.

Feted Yorkshire synthpopers Working Men’s Club burst onto the scene in 2019, securing an army of loyal fans along the way, whilst their first album was described by NME as ‘a superb debut’ and scored a 4/5 starred review from The Guardian. Expect to be transported into a psychedelic universe by this Northern powerhouse.
