Bearded Theory 2025

[Gnomicide]

Frankie and The Pistols reportedly doing 20 festivals next year. Got.to be a good chance of Bearded.

Hawkwind just announced some dates with a TBC for the Saturday of Bearded (and with Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire either side, so nicely in the middle). Would be excited to see them.

 

The Sisters Of Mercy also have two London shows on the Sunday and Monday, maybe a contender for Friday or Saturday. They are definitely up and down live, but last time I saw them the lineup change seemed to have worked wonders, and it was the best time I'd seen them since 1991.

Nice to see Springsteen is doing a couple of warm up gigs in Manchester before Bearded...ahem.

On Woodland I would think?

 

Any sniff of an initial announcement yet?

Waterboys also have a gap in their schedule on the 25th May (but it would be a fourth night on the trot for them, which they don't seem to be doing elsewhere in the tour so maybe, maybe not). Would be happy to see them - thought I'd drifted away but they were really good at BDs 2023

Yeah...about 3.30pm before Jess Silk would be about right I reckon

In terms of indie bands definitely playing round Bearded weekend, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, Cribs, The Coral and We Are Scientists are all playing a gig in Leeds the following weekend. Would love Cribs and We Are Scientists at Bearded...the rest would probably watch if didn't clash with anybody I was desperate to see.
