What a joy to see Beard­ed The­o­ry fes­ti­val back on track for 2022. Dates con­firmed are 26–29th May, at its reg­u­lar spot of Cat­ton Hall, Derbyshire.

The line­up is look­ing good, nay, amaz­ing with Pat­ti Smith to appear. Also Place­bo, and The Flam­ing Lips. The Flam­ing Lips will close the fes­ti­val on Sun­day, no doubt in their usu­al flam­boy­ant style. Expect uni­corns, Wayne Coyne in a ham­ster ball… and prob­a­bly a giant “Fuck Yeah Beard­ed The­o­ry” bal­loon too.

Oth­er wel­come returnees are: Peter Hook and the Light, The Selecter, Wilko John­son, Dread­zone, Fero­cious Dog, Misty in Roots and many oth­ers. Oh and the ever-pop­u­lar Gaz Brook­field plus Dubioza Kolek­tive who won many a fan dur­ing their per­for­mance when they appeared at Beard­ed The­o­ry in 2018.

Dead Naked Hip­pies and Shame and more are also per­form­ing. Also Taran­tism.. let’s hope that the Mag­i­cal Sounds tent will be back in full swing after it took a year off in 2019.
