So, for your discerning earholes Idlefest 15 brings you;

Scouge - in their own words.............. Loud Rock Band from Yorkshire - (Pronounced /skaʊdʒ/ - like ‘gouge’)

Back for the third time but first time for a couple of years we have;

Son of Boar. Here's what they got to say about 'emselves;

Stoner Doom outfit performing a hazy boarbaric assault from the wastelands of their northern city

Yep - sounds about right...new album rumoured to be in the bag so we might hear a couple of new tunes. Or we might not. It will be epic either way.

Another rumour which can't possibly be true is that Hollow Earth will be performing more than one song. Could be a long night.............

Another band we saw briefly a couple of years back are Kamien. We loved them back then and they've got a bit more in the bag now so should be awesome.

A very good reason to get down in good time - we have possibly the greatest ever s**t kicking band to open the festivities. We bring you the excellent Handsome Liars
