LadyRock Festival - the first ever women's festival to come to
the North West - has this morning announced KT Tunstall will
headline the event on Saturday 26 May.
Tunstall shot to fame in 2005 with single Black Horse and the
Cherry Tree and has charted across the UK, Europe and the United
States, with a nod to her chart-topping hit Suddenly I See in
Hollywood film The Devil Wears Prada.
In addition to KT, XFM favourites New Young Pony Club will be at
LadyRock Festival 2012. The Brit band, fronted by sassy trio
Tahita, Sarah and Remy, are known for their post-punk approach to
pop and dance music.
Singer and actress Heather Peace (Lip Service, Waterloo Road,
London's Burning) will also be present at LadyRock Festival 2012.
Heather will be the festival's official host for the day and, in
addition to this, will be giving LadyRock an exclusive set on the
main stage. This is a part of Peace's 2012 UK tour.
Other acts performing across the festival includes include
Manchester favourites Second Hand Wings, Irena D, DJ Rivca and
Taylor and The Mason, Swedish sensation the Glass Child, Brides of
Comedy, Little Miss Natalie and many more.
Founder and Director Jackie Crozier said: "We could not be more
proud of our line-up. Not only is LadyRock putting on an event for
the girls and by the girls but - in a particularly appropriate year
- we are celebrating all things British with our performers."
LadyRock Festival will take place across a number of stages and
areas, with designated spots for acoustic sessions, comedy and
alternative entertainment.
