The Shacklewell Arms is pleased to be hosting a stage at Beacons Festival in the yorkshire dales. Initial line up includes Roots Manuva, Junior Boys, Ghostpoet, Factory Floor, Pearson Sound, Peaking Lights, Errors, Cass McCombs, 2:54, Bok Bok and lots more. Full for the line-up and ticket details visit the Beacons website…
We’re really excited to see Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva on the Beacons line-up this year. Following the release of last year’s 4everrevolution – his most powerful work since Run Come Save Me – the UK hip-hop legend will be bringing his innovative sound to the Yorkshire countryside this summer. And one of UK hip-hop’s rising stars will also be playing. The Mercury Music Prize-nominated Ghostpoet will be laying down his laconic beats and baritone drawl and you’ll get the chance to see why Factory Floor have made a fan of Joy Division / New Order’s Stephen Morris and had the likes of Pitchfork and Quietus touting them for bigger things.
