Beacons Metro have announced the first run of acts taking part in their 2015 run of events. A brand new metropolitan festival taking over northern cities this autumn, the Beacons brand takes a break away from the field of Skipton to the city for a series of music, art and food events.

Also revealed today are the new homes for the 2015 events – Manchester’s venue has been revealed as Albert Hall and Leeds will be the soon to open Headrow House.

Beacons Metro in Manchester features everyone’s favourite gap toothed, slacker rocker Mac Demarco who will headline a special all day event in Manchester’s finest venue the Albert Hall. Taking place on the 12th September with a host of Beacons favourites, the full line up will be revealed very soon. Early Bird tickets are on sale, priced at £20 + booking fee.

Beacons Metro’s Leeds programme begins with a special warm up party featuring Pissed Jeans that will take place at Belgrave Music Hall on the 16th August. Beacons Metro will then move to Headrow House, a new multi level arts and music space in Leeds, where it will programme the new venue for 12 weeks.

The first run of events revealed today includes the relentless 303 bass lines of Factory Floor, a special performance run in association with Recon Festival by Hookworms collaborating with Richard Formby (Ghostpoet, Wild Beasts producer). Further additions include the riff onslaughts from punk heavy weights Titus Andronicus, TRAAMS & Ex Hex to more subtle and delicate sounds of Son Lux, Lonelady and East India Youth.
