Rochdale ready for Feel Good Festival with stellar music line up
Date published: 01 August 2014
Scouting for Girls, headlining the Feel Good Festival
The borough of Rochdale is preparing itself to welcome an all-star cast of chart topping artists and rising stars for the region’s biggest free summertime celebration.
Rochdale Feel Good Festival will return for its seventh year on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 August 2014. Previous years have seen the likes of The Feeling, The Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Martha Reeves, and the Lightning Seeds take centre stage, and this year looks set to be the biggest and best yet.
Scouting For Girls, one of the most successful pop outfits from the last decade, who have no less than ten top 40 singles and four top ten albums to their name, have already been confirmed as headliners, alongside the legendary ska-punk heroes The Selecter, a band that shot to fame in the early 1980s with critically revered work on the legendary 2 Tone Records imprint, reformed in 2010 due to popular demand.
Other performances will include acclaimed Manchester folk-duo Bird To Beast, a pair that already rank in the premiere league of songwriters that have been making significant waves in the media of late.
Meanwhile, MDNGHT, another band who hail from the north’s biggest city, will also be bringing their crossover electronic sounds.
Fickle Friends complete the line up, making the trip from Brighton with their New Wave stylings to entertain the crowd, with numbers expected to beat 2013s record attendance of 10,000 across both days of the event.
Programmes for the event are available at:
