Hevy Festival is one of the UK’s exclusively rock and metal live music festivals, with this year’s festival being hosted in Newhaven, Derbyshire from August 19th to August 20th. Hevy Fest is a relatively new festival, having first begun in 2009, however it is already accumulating attention from UK rock fans due to notoriety of the bands involved, as well as the diversity in musical genre.
With While She Sleeps, Refused and Hacktivist among the acts already announced, another wave of acts to join the line up were confirmed today, including the announcement that Enter Shikari will be headlining the Saturday slot. See below for a list of the bands added:
Enter Shikari
La Dispute
The Bronx
Heart Of A Coward
I Killed The Prom Queen
Arcane Roots
Rolo Tomasso
Agent Fresco
TRC
Good Tiger
Intervals
SHVPES

The news that Enter Shikari will be headlining comes soon before the final UK date of their current tour at London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday 27th February before the band head to France to continue playing sold out venues promoting latest album The Mindsweep. The tour is set to finish in Russia in August.
Tier 1 weekend camping tickets are priced at around £79, with prices for different tiers varying – as well as a newly introduced “glamping” option. More information and tickets for festival are available here.
