Ocean Colour Scene set to make waves

-

Megan Airlie and HATi to name just a few, with hundreds more acts including the Friday night headliner still to be announced.

Previous headliners at the 5,000-capacity festival include: Happy Mondays (2018), The Levellers (2018), The Fratellis (2017) Reef (2016) and British Sea Power (2016).

The over 18’s camping festival will host a diverse line up of 200-plus musicians, comedians and performing artists over its 10 unique stages.

There’ll also be a strong programme of creative workshops, comedy, spoken word, yoga and holistic therapies on offer as well as luxury glamping packages for those not so keen on camping.

Conleth Maenpaa, founder of Lindisfarn­e Festival, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have secured Ocean Colour Scene and Lindisfarn­e for our 2019 lineup. They are undoubtedl­y some of the best live bands around and have been popular suggestion­s from our festival fans over the years. It’s always great to be able to give our loyal followers what they want.”

Due to a surge in early-bird ticket sales and an increased demand for full three-day festival passes, the event will be opening its main stage on Thursday night for the first time, with The Showhawk Duo, Smoove and Turrell and DJ Yoda confirmed for the opening night.

Conleth added: “As we plan to make our fifth year extra special, we’re bringing back a number of the mostloved acts from our last four festivals including The Showhawk Duo, Ferocious Dog and Smoove & Turrell.”

Lindisfarn­e Festival tickets are on sale now online from lindisfarn­efestival. com, with monthly payment plans available and three-day festival passes priced at £95.

The event is strictly for over 18s.
