Pigstock announce line-up

The event which runs from June 1-3 will see a host of Ireland’s most exciting bands perform, including Silhouette, Fighting With Wire, LaFaro, Mojo Fury, More Than Conquerors, RunawayGO, Not Squares, Colly Strings and many many more.

Pigstock started as a birthday party in a marquee in 2008 and was attended by 200 people.

The following year saw huge demand for the event and crowds continued to grow, with the 2011 festival being attended by over 1,500 people, enjoying some of the finest music Northern Ireland had to offer.

For their efforts Pigstock earned a nomination for best festival at the Northern Irish Music Awards.

Pigstock will kick start the summer festival season with Northern Ireland’s hottest bands sharing the bill with a strong contingent of southern Irish talent.

This is in keeping with Pigstock’s new vision to showcase the best music, be it from Northern Ireland or further afield.

There will be 32 bands playing across three stages over two days, a food village, with the infamous Hog Roast, and the Pigstock bar.

Local art group Firsty will be helping to make it visually the most colourful and interesting Pigstock to date.

Tickers are priced at £35 for a weekend camping pass; £30 for Saturday camping pass; £20 for Saturday day tickets and are available from www.pigstockfestival.co.uk
