Alternative Stage Acts Announced
Highlights last year included a special night hosted by the uber hip Trangressive label, a rare showing of punk classic ‘American Hardcore’, a list of comedy and cabaret performers to die for and much much more besides.
This year we are set to better that inaugural year and are proud to announce two very special performers as the start of this year’s bill.
A godhead of punk, a man of letters, an author, actor, poet, publisher, political activist, HENRY ROLLINS is all of these and more. A constant presence in the US arts and music scene and a worldwide household name, Rollins comes to the Alternative Stage for a spoken word set that is sure to be the talk of the sites and a huge draw for all those who value such an intelligent and provocative artist.
Like Rollins, JEFFREY LEWIS is an artist unaware of boundaries. A songwriter, performer (with the Jeffrey Lewis Band), comic book author, poet and spoken word artist, Lewis is fast becoming the modern renaissance man of the US alternative scene. With a huge reputation within the underground, expect these sets to be a highlight of the weekend for many at the dual sites.
