Dub Pistols to headline Off The Tracks Summer Festival

Dub Pistols are confirmed as the final headline act for Off The Tracks Summer Festival which takes place from Friday 31st August until Sunday 2nd September 2012.

The London band will close the main stage on Saturday night which will round off a busy summer for Dub Pistols, who are touring and playing festivals in support of their new album 'Worshipping The Dollar', released on Sunday Best Records.

Dub Pistols will be bringing their rock'n'roll swagger to Donington Park Farmhouse, Isley Walton, nr Castle Donington, in Leicestershire, and chewing up hip-hop, dub, techno, ska, reggae and punk and spitting them out in a renegade futuristic skank, that consistently defies dance music genres.

Friday night is headed up by The Beat, Dodgy and Banco De Gaia. The weekend line-up also includes Rory McLeod and the Familiar Strangers, Edward II, Phantom Limb, The Lucky Strikes, The Beekeepers, Wille And The Bandits, The Roughneck Riot, Moon'shee and more.

Festival director Andy Cooper said, "Dub Pistols' performance in May was one of the most memorable we've ever had – more than two hours, with four encores. We thought long and hard about the Saturday night headline act for the Summer festival, but in the end there was no doubt and we're proud to welcome them back."

Dub Pistols' founder Barry Ashworth added, "It's fantastic to be invited back to headline Off The Tracks so soon. The response we got from the crowd at the May festival was off the scale and we've been buzzing about it ever since."

Off The Tracks offers more than 40 artists on three stages, impromptu acoustic sessions as well as 80+ real ales, ciders and perries, excellent camping facilities and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Food on offer includes venison reared in the venue's own historic deer park.
