Beat-Herder, the weirdest, wildest and most wonderful party in the UK festival calendar, announces more big names for 2018. Running from July 13th – 15th, Beat-Herder will once again transform Lancashire’s Ribble Valley into a technicolour party and escapist’s utopia, with an array of 20+ whimsical stages, world-class DJs and surprises aplenty.
Having recently announced a diverse mix of live acts and DJs such as Orbital, Soulwax, Django Django, David Rodigan (MBE), Congo Natty, Patrick Topping, Denis Sulta, Ben Sims, Artwork and Fisher for this year’s event, Beat-Herder can now announce details of the second wave of artists to be added to the bill.
Beat-Herder continues to exist as it did back when it started as a free DIY party in 1998: uncompromising, unwavering and distinguished by an overwhelming sense of community. Its reputation as one of the friendliest festivals around can be attributed to its loyal followers – friends, couples and families who create new memories to cherish in a bold and barmy atmosphere each summer.
Tier 1 and 2 tickets have sold out. Tier 3 tickets are now available for £137.50 plus booking fee from https://tickets.beatherder.co.uk/. Glamping options are also available. The Beat-Herder Bombassador programme is also open, allowing loyal fans the chance to get free tickets and money-can’t-buy experiences.
