GLASTONFERRET 2023 - The Original Indoor Turfed Festival returns!

THURS 24th - SUN 27th AUG 2023

The Ferret's legendary event is back for its 16th year, bigger and better than ever. Four days filled with a massive live-music lineup of amazing acts; real grass & hay bales installed throughout the whole inside of the venue; guest craft ales, cider and summer drinks on tap; fantastic festival food vendors, DJ sessions & crafty stalls in the extended outdoor area; and late night after parties taking us through til the early hours.

Events run from Thursday night until Sunday night.



The GLASTONFERRET 2023 LINEUP:

From special guest headliners to local legends, outdoor DJ sessions to massive live shows - Glastonferret 2023 promises to be an absolute belter:

--- OPENING NIGHT: Thursday 24th August 2023 (from 4pm) ---

BODEGA

Treeboy & Arc

Wesley Gonzalez

Whinge

Uhr

The Dirt

Vice Vera

Joining us for the first time (& their first time in Preston) we welcome New York's BODEGA as our Thursday night headliners. Expect art-rock & post-punk with influences from hip-hop, indie-pop, and straight up classic rock. The lineup is stacked from top to tail with Treeboy & Arc + Wesley Gonzalez also making their Ferret debut, alongside Whinge, Uhr, The Dirt & Vice Vera.

--- Friday 25th August 2023 (from 3pm) ---

JEFFREY LEWIS & THE VOLTAGE

Bo Ningen

Bull

Butch Kassidy

Tero Kulero

The Dead Things

The Amber List

We welcome back Ferret favourite Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage as our Friday night headliner. Expect scuzzy indie-folk & raw garage rock. Our Friday lineup is absolute killer, with the incredible Bo Ningen joining us for the first time in years, alongside Bull, Butch Kassidy, Tero Kulero, The Dead Things & The Amber List.

--- Saturday 26th August 2023 (from 12pm) ---

EVIL BLIZZARD

PANIC SHACK

Personal Trainer

Cowtown

Ginnel

The Jackpot Golden Boys

The Empire Police

Rude Films

British Birds

Zvilnik

Jean Genie's Massive Hugs


Local anti-heroes Evil Blizzard return to The Ferret for the first time since 2021's double-sellout weekender. Expect a hefty sonic assault of propulsive psychedelia and perverse punk, and the kind of joyously cathartic, wholly ridiculous and thoroughly thrilling rock ‘n’ roll ride that only Evil Blizzard can provide.

Joining the Blizz are Welsh DIY punk quintet Panic Shack, armed with brash, witty lyrics and killer hooks, and an absolute tidal wave of ear-crunching noise. The Saturday lineup is an all-day barrage of amazing live bands including the fantastic Personal Trainer, COWTOWN, & local legends-in-the-making Ginnel (with Glastonferret acting as their hometown album launch party). And we don't stop there, with The Jackpot Golden Boys, The Empire Police, Rude Films, British Birds, Zvilnik & Jean Genie's MaSsIvE HUGS joining us. PLUS there is more to be added!




--- Sunday 27th August 2023 (from 12pm) ---

DO NOTHING

TVAM

Maruja

Hauspoints

San Lorenz

Sky Valley Mistress

Yaang

Barry Gammon

8-B1Tch

BROTHER

FirstnameFrank

Millicent

Nottingham 4-piece Do Nothing hit the Ferret stage for our grand finale - their sound is equal parts Roxy-esque art rock and Ze/Celluloid records no wave. Do Nothing songs are characterized by the acerbic lyricism of vocalist Chris Bailey where every song feels like its own self-contained psycho drama.

Joining Do Nothing on our final night of live music, TVAM bring jagged guitars & drum machines, while the spirit of post-punk, electro rock’n’roll does battle with the hypnotic rhythms of Krautrock.

And there's more! This Sunday lineup is an all-day flood of incredible live music including the breathtaking jazz-punks Maruja, Chorley's finest Hauspoints, as well as the awesome San Lorenz, Sky Valley Mistress, YAANG, Barry Gammon, 8-B1Tch, Last Band Standing Runners-Up BROTHER, plus Ferret friends FirstnameFrank & MILLICENT.
