The Beat-Herder Festival can finally reveal one of two new stages for 2013: The Fortress.

At 60 feet long and made of corrugated steel, The Fortress will feature four huge turrets and a DJ booth in the loft. With a line up featuring the likes of Dub Pistols, Mumbai Science and Justin Robertson amongst many more, this new stage will have a huge soundsystem pumping out high octane beats all day and night for the intrepid ravers out there.

‘Eclectic without losing sight of its identity, Beat-Herder boasts DJ sets which span ages, generations, styles and decades’ – Clash

‘Beat Herder is also the most heart-on-sleeve northern festival we’ve been to’ – Drowned in Sound

“Like with Glastonbury the heart behind its organisation is clear to see and it might well be the best music festival the North West of England has to offer” – Big Issue

 “The best atmosphere of any festival I’ve been to, Beat-Herder can’t be recommended enough.” Skiddle

 “Simply marvellous. Although small in size, Beat-Herder is a MASSIVE festival. Massive in atmosphere, massive in quality, massive in pure unadulterated vibe. Beat-Herder is up there with the best. No wonder it was a sell out well before the start.” – Festivals For All
