Blackheart Afterglow have been confirmed for the Rough Beats Festival 8-10 June 2012 The festival started in the early 00's in someone's back garden in Clapham, North Yorks, with about 90 people watching the owner's son's band (so we were told). Jump on nine years and the organisers are booking artists such as Pulled Apart By Horses(Friday 8th), Azealia Banks, Django Django and Super Fury Animals front man Gruff Rhys...and The Blackhearts(Friday 8th)! Amazing how things start though ain't it?
Also on the bill will be Lancaster duo The Lovely Eggs and Morecambe's Joe McCorriston as well as Red Dwarf and radio soulster Craig Charles. More acts TBA.
Weekend tickets are £65 inc camping, with day passes priced at £30.
