Bearded Theory, usually taking place over the May Bank Holiday weekend, was optimistically postponed till September and has now announced that the festival will take place in May 2021.

The independent festival did its best to try and go ahead but this has not proved possible. Fortunately many of Bearded Theory’s acts for this year are already booked for 2021 and there are many more surprises to come.

Patti Smith remains a headliner for 2021 and others on the lineup include Toots and the Maytals, Lucy Spraggan, Peter Hook & the Light, Ferocious Dog, Dub Pistols, Derange. Plus Bearded Theory favourites, 3 Daft Monkeys.

Bearded Theory festival takes place at Catton Hall, Derbyshire. Tickets are a very reasonable £130 and there is a payment plan on offer.

The good news is that it gives us all plenty of time to grow a beard (or make one out of anything you like) for Bearded Theory’s famous beard competition which takes place on the main Pallet stage on Sunday.
