Upcoming Highlights
Mmoths – dj set on Friday 2nd March
The definition of one to watch is an artist who is clearly adept at making music and impressing but maybe hasn’t gone as far as the album making cycle. MOTHS aka Jack Colleran has a good excuse. He’s 17 and still in school in my hometown of Newbridge, Kildare but he’s already made a couple of standout electronic jams. Definitely keep an eye out for more of this goodness” [Nialler 9] Mmoths has also recently released his commissioned remix of Interpol and collaborated with Keep Shelly In Athens. To say he’s on the rise is an understatement.

Bungalows & Bears Associated Festival : Beacons 2012 – First Acts Announced – New Site
We’re really excited to see Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva on the Beacons line-up this year. Following the release of last year’s 4everrevolution – his most powerful work since Run Come Save Me – the UK hip-hop legend will be bringing his innovative sound to the Yorkshire countryside this summer. And one of UK hip-hop’s rising stars will also be playing. The Mercury Music Prize-nominated Ghostpoet will be laying down his laconic beats and baritone drawl and you’ll get the chance to see why Factory Floor have made a fan of Joy Division / New Order’s Stephen Morris and had the likes of Pitchfork and Quietus touting them for bigger things.
Beacons is a three-day, four-night festival and for a short period, tickets are available at just £60 for the weekend, including camping (£55 for students and Regulars Cards holders). A limited number of early bird weekend tickets are available now. Tickets will be available to purchase from the Beacons Festival website, HMV, Seetickets, Gigantic, Leedstickets.com, Jumbo Records and Crash Records.
