Things get Hevy in Folkestone this Summer
Posted by admin in Festivals and Concerts, Uncategorized on April 27, 2009
Local promoters Hevy are organising an alternative music festival for Saturday 1st August 2009 along the Folkestone seafront.
“The mighty ‘Feeder’ will be headlining the main stage at this year’s Hevy Music Festival, topping an awesome line-up also featuring ‘Ash’, ‘Gary Numan’, ‘Hundred Reasons’, ‘Kids In Glass Houses’, ‘Attack! Attack!’, ‘Sonic Boom Six’ and ‘In Case Of Fire’.”
Hevy founder James says “There are many fantastic new festivals being developed in Kent this year. Having grown up in Canterbury, it’s great to see so much live music being offered in this corner of the UK. To try to create something a bit different, and cater for a market that we felt could do with some attention, we’re developing this as an alternative music festival.”
“For our first year we’re keeping things simple with a one-day event featuring a diverse line-up of huge bands from the world of alternative music. We’re hoping to develop the event next year, with more bands on more stages, possibly over a number of days.”
“We’re unbelievably excited to be bringing these huge names to Folkestone, but our aim has always been to develop the local music scene and support the wealth of talent Kent has to offer. We’re now on the hunt for Kent’s greatest bands to play the festival’s second stage”.
