2012 sees the Fake Festival Tour visiting South Yorkshire once
again...
If the thought of travelling hundreds of miles this year to get
your festival fix leaves you feeling a little flat, then it might
be worth knowing that you can catch some internationally acclaimed
bands right on your doorstep - minus the over-inflated ticket
prices.
Thanks to the Fake Festival Tour visiting Yorkshire again this
May 19th, you'll be able to watch tributes to Coldplay,
Kasabian and Green Day right on your doorstep, as well as some of
the best emerging local musical talent.
Taking place at Sandall Park, Doncaster in the Fake Festivals
marquee, this community led event will play host to some of the
finest tribute acts in the world, giving people the ultimate
festival feeling, just without the beer and brolly juggling.
Headlining act Coldplace from Grimsby, have been on the gig
circuit not only in the UK, but also world-wide, for seven years
firmly establishing themselves as one of the best tributes in the
world.
In addition to hosting internationally acclaimed tribute bands,
Sandall Park Fake Festival will also be showcasing some of the most
exciting artists in the region tipped to be the stars of tomorrow,
thanks to the five local support band slots they offer. Performing
this year are:
'Goodfellas', a Doncaster based four piece covers band who've
been playing to local audiences for many years. Performing a set
list including rock and indie anthems such asBorn To Be WildandBuck
Rogers,they're a truly great warm up act for the main tribute
bands.
'The 48K's' are a serious up and coming original five piece band
from Doncaster. With high profile gigs already under their belt and
a set list of original material so catchy you'll assume you've
heard it before, their performance at Fake Festivals will be sure
to impress you.
"Fake Festivals is the perfect platform for unsigned artists to
showcase their talent in front of a friendly local crowd," says Jez
Lee, organiser of Fake Festivals. "They get to perform on a main
stage with a state of the art sound and lighting system -something
not a lot of unsigned artists ever get the opportunity to do."
"We know just how difficult it is to break into the music
industry nowadays and so we're keen to help local artists get some
exposure. Plus, you never know who'll turn up on our tour -we've
had a professional from the music industry come along to check out
unsigned artists and even the news editor of NME!"
Sandall Park Fake Festival's line-up this year includes
Coldplace, Kazabian and Basketcase (Green Day tribute).
