This week has been saying goodbye to 2018 and hello to 2019 and the great line-ups that await us…

Bearded Theory was the next festival to announce their mega line-up. The 100% independent festival have confirmed huge acts such as The Cult, Suede, Doves and Editors. More of the line-up will be released early in the New Year, which will play the festival on 9 stages across the 4 days.

Alongside the acts, Bearded Theory will also provide free showers, improvements to parking and will set up a new circus.

The festival spokesperson, Michael Ecceleshall, spoke about the announcements:

“We cannot wait to get back to Catton Hall in May for our 12th Bearded Theory! The whole team have been working flat out to bring you another incredible line up, and with The Cult, Suede, Disciples of Soul, Doves, Editors, and literally hundreds more acts brilliant acts over 4 days (pus loads more still to announce), we are confident that we have achieved our goal! As promised, we have brought in the UK’s very best traffic management company, and introduced a raft of changes to reduce congestion on the roads including: opening festival gates for longer on Thursday, reducing the number of Campervan and Caravan tickets on sale, and clearly marking out all spaces. We want to thank everyone for their continued support of Bearded Theory, and look forward to seeing you in May!”

The weekend will take place from Thursday 23rd May to Sunday 26th May. You can see the full line-up here.
