Ringmaster Festival 2013
Indie | Tuesday 11th June 2013 | Conor
Ringmaster is a new one day Festival taking place in Whitbourne, Worcester. The festival, which takes place on 28th September, has a vintage circus theme and features a stellar line up over 5 stages.
The bill is topped by Maxïmo Park, who released their latest studio album The National Health in June last year. Always a festival favourite, Maxïmo Park’s live shows are energetic affairs that have garnered them enough recognition to grace the main stage at large festivals such as Reading and Leeds.
Over recent years, Mystery Jets have become festival mainstays making numerous appearances every summer and they find themselves just below the headliners at Ringmaster. With five distinctly diverse sounding albums under their belt, the Eel Pie Island indie rock band’s sets are always kept fresh and are continually a spectacle worth witnessing.
Anyone would be perfectly justified to argue that Birmingham is leading the field in new British music, and one band in particular at the forefront of this upsurge of talent is Swim Deep. For a band with no album as of yet (their debut is due for release on July 29th 2013) they can boast a colossal and fervent following. Swim Deep could be destined for big things so you’d be wise to catch them before they explode to the larger stages.
Having formed less than two years ago, Young Kato are rapidly making a name for themselves on the indie circuit and find themselves on the main stage of Ringmaster. Their debut single, ‘Drink Dance Play’ is a track full of confidence from a band brimming with self-belief and a solid idea of where they want to be.
Deaf Havana, Theme Park, Lewis Watson, Canterbury, Tall Ships, Fossil Collective, rumHoney, Passport to Stockholm, The Crooked Empire, Isolated Atoms and many, many more complete the bill. The full line-up can be found at the website, www.ringmasterfestival.co.uk.
Tickets are on sale now and are available for the remarkably cheap price of £39.50, with free entry for under 10s.
