After announcing last week that headliners Frightened Rabbit would not be appearing at the fourth edition of Stendhal Festival, organisers have now announced that they will be appearing now after all at the festival which takes place in the Roe Valley, Northern Ireland, on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th August 2014.

Organisers have issued a statement saying, "It has been a topsy-turvy couple of weeks for the organisers of Stendhal Festival of Art but after announcing that Frightened Rabbit would not be appearing in their advertised headline slot at the event this year, we can confirm that thanks to some rescheduling that Frightened Rabbit are back on the bill and will Headline the event on Saturday 9th August. The band were originally scheduled to appear on Friday 8th August, but a booking oversight by the agency representing them meant that they had been double booked on that date.

"It had been communicated to us that they would not be able to make the event on either day, therefore we had to announce that they would not be appearing. In a wonderful turn of events, the band have rearranged their travel schedule and have confirmed that they will be appearing at this year’s Stendhal Festival of Art after all.

"Everyone at Stendhal is delighted that Frightened Rabbit have been so pro-active in changing their tour schedule to accommodate us and all their fans, who will also no doubt be as ecstatic about this as we are.

"We would like to apologise for any confusion this matter has brought with it as we once again look forward to seeing Frightened Rabbit take to the stage at Ballymully Cottage Farm this summer.

We would also like to thank the Undertones for being absolute gentlemen in switching their headline slot from Saturday to Friday in order to accommodate us and Frightened Rabbit."

Combining music, art, dance, sculpture, poetry, and a host of other activities, this is a family friendly event that embraces the ethos of community, discovering different genres of art and above all, having a good time.

In addition to the music programmed over four stages, Stendhal Festival will also play host to a varied family programme of events for the kids to enjoy, art work, sculpture, a craft market, digital art installations, a fun fair and many more wee surprises.
