Festival line-up update: Rock Werchter, Handmade and Redfest
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 20 January 2014
Today’s FLUU is ruled by the news that international (mainly British) stars Ellie Goulding, Babyshambles, Birdy and MGMT will rock this year’s Rock Werchter, lining up alongside – well, slightly lower than – headliners Pearl Jam and Kings Of Leon at the Belgian event. Spiffing.
That said, the Midlands-based Handmade bash isn’t doing too badly either, with Three Trapped Tigers, iLiKETRAiNS and Shonen Knife all scoring high amongst its first lot of confirmations.
Full listings for those two, plus Surrey’s rock-dominated Redfest, is still to follow…
