Bearded Theory’s Big Ed Stage by Louisa Tomson
Bearded Theory unveils its first wave for next year.
Pixies, Skunk Anansie, Big Special, Fat Dog and Sprints are among the artists confirmed to be playing Bearded Theory when the festival makes its return to Catton Park in Derbyshire between May 20th-24th next year.
Comedian Stewart Lee is also a part of the wide-ranging line-up, and has said:
Bearded Theory reminded me of what festivals used to be like, where a community of actual music fans come together to enjoy the music they love, rather than stand around disengaged eating expensive luxury food next to Jeremy Clarkson and the cheesemaking bassist from Blur.
“In a world where cost and culture has made the festival experience an exclusively middle class one, with Glastonbury another stop on the same Summer schedule as Glyndebourne, it seemed refreshingly egalitarian. And people can take supplies on site with them rather than having to spend even more once in.”
“I’m so glad I was able to go with my teenage daughter so she could see how great these things can be.”
