The IAStival has arrived
We are very excited to reveal that our headline act will be none
other than The Sunshine Underground! The Leeds-based band has had
two successful albums and they can now add IAStival to their list
of festival performances, alongside the likes of Glastonbury and T
in the Park. Despite dedicating this summer to finishing off their
new album, they have managed to find time to sneak away to perform
at IAStival, which means we'll hopefully be among the first to
enjoy some of their newest material!
With our headline act being so brilliant, we thought it was
essential to get some equally brilliant support acts to keep the
standard high throughout the weekend...
If you haven't heard of Rook and the Ravens, you are definitely
missing out. Born and bred in Manchester the band has been
circulating the festivals for the last few years. With the likes of
Glastonbury and Kendal Calling under their belt, we are expecting
great things from these boys at IAStival. Watch this space, Rook
and the Ravens will be hitting the big time soon, I can feel
it!
And if Rock music's not quite your thing, don't worry as there's
plenty more to see at IAStival. Another highlight of the
weekend is the amazing eight piece hip-hop band, The Mouse Outfit.
After supporting the likes of Jurassic 5, The Sugarhill Gang and
Craig Charles and performing two BBC radio Maida Vale sessions,
these guys are guaranteed to get everyone up and dancing.
Just in case you are thinking, "but when will I be able to sing
along to some classics" we've thrown in quite possibly the best
tribute act we have ever seen. Ladies and gentlemen IAS is very
proud to introduce to the line up, Ultimate Elton! Class act Paul
Bacon along with his 6-piece band will be bringing you all your
favourite Elton John hits on the Saturday night, this is definitely
a sight not to be missed!
We've tried to bring you a huge variety of music across the
weekend, from our own IAS DJs to world famous names such as Turin
Brakes and Bailey Tzuke. Check out our line up page for all our
confirmed acts and links to their Myspace pages for more
information.
And with many more acts yet to be confirmed make sure you keep
your eye on the IAStival website to find out what else we've got in
store for you!
