exclusive: two nineties festival veterans for Alchemy

eFestivals can reveal that two veterans of the '90's festival circuit have been added to the line-up at this September's Alchemy Festival.

Urban space dubbers Radical Dance Faction (RDF) will be bringing their 'Surplus People' and 'Borderline Cases' to Alchemy this September, with 8 piece roots rock reggae band, Rhythm-ites also confirmed. Both are veterans of the festival circuit throughout the Nineties.

They join headliners Here and Now, Nik Turner's Outriders of Apocalypse, and Zion Train. Other acts confirmed include The Monster Ceilidh Band, Tarantism, Akahum, ZubZub, Sprocket, New Groove Formation, The Horn the Hunt, Flutatious, and Lorraine. No other acts have been confirmed.

The Liberty, Philosophers Stone and Mushroom stages will all be back offering live acts, festival favourites, and DJs, with a few surprises thrown in for luck. The Psychedelic Breakfast Crew who have been part of the dance party scene for a number of years now are expected to return providing a unique setting for all to have a good time, kick back and relax and have a damn good boogie.

Alchemy is a small family friendly festival that continues to grow and grow. It features a diverse range of music, but most music tastes are catered for someplace or other on the site.

Early bird tickets are available priced at £50 for an adult weekend ticket. An under 16 ticket is priced at £12. Under 5's are free and don't require a ticket. A car parking ticket is priced at £8, and a live in vehicle pass is priced at £20. To buy tickets, click here.

The festival will also include a bubble tent, and circus area with fire shows, jugglers, poi and many other oddities! The site will have many works of art and sculptures, stalls, more food traders than last year, tarot readers and communal fire pits, and every day will be a dress fancy day. Gremlin Trikes will be providing Sherpa services to and from the car park.

There will be a large children's area at Alchemy containing circus skills, workshops, bubbles, face painting, shows, talks and performances. There will even be a children's open mic. Everything in the childrens area will be free. The festival aims to be as green as possible and support fair trade, and hopes to have a local cider company on site selling homemade cider and mead.
