Beat-Herder announces monster lineup for 2022 edition
The Beat-Herder festival returns to Ribble Valley, Lancashire, in July, with a stellar lineup featuring Nile Rodgers & Chic, Hot Chip, The Wailers, Public Service Broadcasting and others.
Following a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s festival is its belated 15th birthday, and will be bigger and better than ever, running across four days from 14-17 July.
The festival began in 1998 as a free, DIY party, and has remained true to its rave roots in the years since, with a loyal following and and array of stages championing everything from sick beats to chillout vibes.
Among those also set to appear at the festival are Craig Charles, with his live Funk & Soul Show, reggae selector David Rodigan, Dub Pistols, Warmduscher, Ibibio Sound Machine and LoneLaddy… and that’s just the main stage.
The Toil Trees stage, meanwhile, will feature a soundclash of techno, house and rave, with the likes of Alan Fitzpatrick, HAAi, KiNK, Rebūke, Or:la and others.
Other stages at the wide-ranging festival include Fortress, The Ring, Trash Manor (which will feature performances by the legendary Ralph Lawson and Greg Wilson), The Factory and many more.
More artists are still to be announced.
