The news of Escape The Fate’s appearance is an exciting development for this year’s festival; the post hardcore band have a dedicated fan-base and a career spanning a decade. Escape The Fate recently released their fifth studio album Hate Me on October 30th last year, which marked a new era for the band after several months of uncertainty due to the loss of several band members – however having just finished a successful world tour and with festival dates to look forward to this summer, it seems the band are back on track.

Meanwhile, headliners The Cribs (described by Q Magazine as “the biggest cult band in the UK”) have amounted critical acclaim, having notched up various awards since the release of their self titled debut album in 2004 – including NME‘s Outstanding Contribution To Music Award. The band released sixth studio album For All My Sisters in March last year and went on to perform at Glastonbury 2015, making them ones to watch at this year’s Camden Rocks.
This year’s festival is due to take place on June 4th and so far the line up totals at over 130 bands – with 80 more still to be announced!
