Beacons Metro Announce Fresh Acts For 2016

• 13th Jul 2016

Beacons Metro have revealed the next ten acts taking part in this autumns invigorating music programme. Having announced Local Natives, Roots Manuva, Hookworms and Anna Meredith earlier last month, this next announcement sees Beacons firming up their forward thinking curatorial muscles.

Joining the bill are American Alt-Rock and Grunge Pioneers Dinosaur JR, who will be performing at the Beacons Metro opening party at Leeds University Stylus on October 26th.

Canadian Post-Hardcore heroes Fucked Up will be performing their highly acclaimed debut ‘Hidden World’ in full at the Belgrave on October 27th joined by one of the brightest lights of Nashville’s thriving DIY rock movement, the quad guitar’d chaos of Diarrhea Planet.

Also joining the bill are Boxed In, Lady Leshurr, Cats Eyes, Krrum and Margaret Glaspy.

Now in its second year, Beacons Metro is taking a much more concise form, trading in last years seasons-spanning programme for a much more focused week long period in late October/early November.

Head Booker, Ben Lewis says: ‘‘We are really proud of this new batch of artists we’re announcing. Building on our eclectic first announce we’re bringing together huge names from the indie rock world; Dinosaur Jr and Fucked Up, alongside Grime Queen Lady Leshurr and freak folk, head turning teenagers Let’s Eat Grandma. It’s going to be a very exciting, very busy week, and with a few more top names still to come at the end of the month, it’s only getting stronger.”

A limited number of Season Pass tickets priced at £50 are on sale now. This gives you access to all the Beacons Metro show with a significant discount.
