exclusive: Back to the Planet for Alchemy

eFestivals can exclusively reveal that Back To The Planet will headline this September's Alchemy Festival.

The band who are veterans of the early Nineties festival circuit have been confirmed as Saturday night headliners on the Philosophers Stone Stage (main outside stage).

They join a line-up that will feature over a hundred bands and DJs including Here and Now, Nik Turner's Outriders of Apocalypse, and Zion Train. Other acts confirmed include Radical Dance Faction (RDF), Rhythm-ites, The Monster Ceilidh Band, Tarantism, Akahum, ZubZub, Sprocket, New Groove Formation, The Horn the Hunt, Flutatious, Lorraine, and others. For the line-up details as available please click here.

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 £60 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.
