The Men They Could Not Hang are set to play Undercover Festival in their 30th anniversary year. That’s a long time since ‘Green Fields of France’, their epic debut recording, went to number 1 in the Independent Music Chart. It’s also 30 years since the Miner’s strike; encapsulated so poignantly in the band’s elegy ‘Shirt of Blue’ – a song the band still play today, its meaning always subtly shifting with the times… 

The Main Stage on the Saturday sees Punk Legends 999 back at Undercover Festival , The return to the scene of the post-punk legends DEPARTMENT S who brought you the classic - Is Vic There? along with The Talks rising stars in the Ska world PLUS a plethora of cracking acts make this a mouth watering Saturday line up, and that’s without announcing the 3 other Saturday headline acts and several others soon to be announced.
