Wild Beasts To Headline Beacons Festival

• 19th Mar 2012

Wild Beasts will headline this year's Beacons Festival, which takes place August 17-19 at Funkirk Estate, Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales.

Organisers also confirmed this morning that Jessie Ware and Frankie & The Heartstrings will join the bill, which will also feature sets from Junior Boys, Errors, Factory Floor, 2:54 and a host of others.

Last year’s Beacons Festival had to be cancelled after authorities inspected the site and said it was “no longer considered to be safe for a public audience”. Organisers blamed this on adverse weather conditions in the area – and will be hoping for much better this summer.
