	Levellers

Headlining Friday will be the Levellers, on Saturday night, Captain Sensible's Gothic Punk legends The Damned, and after Bearded Theory's organisers received the greatest number of complaints last year for not booking Dreadzone for the first time the festival's history. To make amends, this year they return to close the festival on Sunday night.

Richard Bryan from Bearded Theory Festival said, "The Levellers have been rumoured to play Bearded Theory ever since we started and we have decided the time was finally right to get them on. The Damned have been the most requested to play in 2012 by you guys/gals and what better way to celebrate our fifth Birthday than having Dreadzone close the festival on the Sunday night."

Also confirmed is Dr Feelgood who has been added to the Saturday night line-up and Please Y Self will be opening the stage on the Sunday celebrating a whopping 40 years on stage.

The remaining acts will be announced over the next couple of months. The festival will features bands, DJs, poets, and comedians.

The line-up includes System 7, The Ashan Project, Astralasia, Banco De Gaia, Terrorvision, Mad Dog Mcrea, Tarantism, The True Deceivers, Show of Hands, Chumbawamba, Radical Dance Faction (RDF), The Selecter, The Urban Voodoo Machine, Credit to The Nation, The Popes, Random Hand, Kissmet, Imperial Leisure, Ferocious Dog, WitchDoktors, Rasta4Eyes, The Travelling Band, RoughNeck Riot, Tracy Jane Sullivan, Cracked Actors, Boot Hill All Stars, Karl Phillips & The Midnight Ramblers, Pronghorn, Back to the Planet, Los Albertos, and King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys, and more.
