The annual Hippy Horror Music Festival will
feature a range of Staffordshire’s best musical talents across three days.
The festival, organised by the Hippy Hippy Shake Company, begins today and will end on Sunday evening (October 28) at
Foxfield Railway in Blythe Bridge.
More than 40 local acts will be performing
as part of the largest line-up of unsigned artists ever to perform at a single
event locally.
Popular upcoming acts will include The Get Alongs,
The Control, The Rivalry, and Six Towns, who were recently nominated for MTV
Brand New Unsigned Act for 2013.
Managing director Richard Buxton, said:
“The image of our milkshake bars has always been based around music-based icons
and themes, so it made sense to get involved with the local music scene.”
The company has two shops, one in Hanley
market in Stoke, and the other in Newcastle-under-Lyme town cetnre.
HippyHaze, a similar event that took place
at Easter, proved a great success earlier in the year.
Richard added: “HippyHaze was a great
success for us, so we decided to put Hippy Horror on in order to provide the
younger community with something different to do at Halloween whilst supporting
young musicians.”
Food and clothing stalls, face-painters and
a bar will be available for fans to enjoy.
Festival-goers are encouraged to attend in
Halloween fancy-dress.
Full weekend tickets can be purchased on
the door for £28 whilst Saturday and Sunday tickets are available for £15. Friday
day tickets are £7 and all include camping.
