The dates for next year are as follows:

26 South Herts Uni, Hatfield
27 Midlands Wolverhampton Civic

Festival owner Ben Ray comments: “Once again I am pleased to have such a great lineup to announce. I am especially pleased this year to announce a brand new 3rd full festival. Originating from the Midlands myself, I have always wanted to take the festival there and now after years of work building the brand across the country I feel I can now take it home! I hope fans across the country will continue to support the growth a homegrown UK festival, and let’s make 2013 a big one together.”
