Montgomeryshire’s biggest weekend music festival will be held once again in Abermule from August 2-3.
Organisers have confirmed that more than 30 DJs, bands and singers have signed up for the 4th Crash Festival which provides a platform for the very best local musical talent as well as a couple of visiting bands.
Dai Robs, who has this year been responsible for booking all the acts, said: “Crash is a great platform for local acts. We have some incredible talent in the area and at Crash people get to see them on a great stage, with a great sound and lighting system at a price that doesn’t break the bank. It is always a great atmosphere and I predict that this year will be the biggest and best Crash so far.”
This year’s line up consists of acts such as Fight The Bear, Halflight, MK Zero, The Velvet Dukes, Subtheme, Blues Boy Dan, Shake Shake Go, The Soul Preachers and many more. In the past, the festival has attracted an audience of around 1,500 people but with momentum starting to grow they are expecting over 2,000 people in 2013.
Revenue from the festival is pumped back into local music projects and Festival organiser Ian Friend said: “We were very lucky last year to have two superb sponsors in The Regent Centre, Newtown and The Royal Oak, Welshpool. Our sponsors play a massive part in making Crash the event it is and we welcome any business that might be interested in sponsoring the event to contact us at sponsorship@crashfestival.co.uk.”
