Galtres goes golden brown this summer

The Stranglers are confirmed to headline the Sunday night of Galtres festival which takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Having notched up an impressive 23 charting 40 singles and 17 top 40 albums to date over a career spanning four decades, Guildford's self-styled 'Meninblack' are sure to deliver an evening of singalong anthems including 'Something Better to Change', 'No More Heroes', 'Always the Sun', 'Skin Deep' and of course Golden Brown'.

"This is a major coup for us. The Stranglers have stood the test of time brilliantly, with outstanding recent festival performances and a new album building on their extraordinary success over four decades. They are legends, we've always dreamed of booking them, and now they are coming. It will be a fabulous end to this year's festival at our spectacular new home," said James Houston, festival director, "Our event always ends on a big high. This year, as the sun sets over the North Yorkshire Moors, it will be a golden brown high!"

The first acts confirmed are Saturday headliners Maximo Park, plus Holy Moly & the Crackers, Maia, Boss Caine, Counting Coins, David Ward Maclean, Horse Guards Parade, Littlemores, Ryan Spendlove, The Blueprints, The Talks, and Blackbeard's Tea Party. More than 100 bands will play Galtres Festival on seven stages with the Friday headliner yet to be unveiled.

The Galtres festival started out as a beer and cider festival that included local based musicians and has gone through a change over the last couple of years and is now considered more of a music festival that has some great locally produced beers/ciders on sale.
