Chase and Status to headline County Durham festival
Down To The Woods festival will take place on 13th and 14th August and will also see Scottish rockers Primal Scream on the bill.
Multi-platinum selling Chase and Status will be headlining a County Durham festival this summer.
The drum and bass stars, who're used to play to crowds of 50,0000 or more, will be top of the bill at Down To The Woods festival at Hardwick Hall this August.
They've produced tracks for mammoth acts such as Rhianna, Rita Ora and Example and, with fans such as Pharrell Williams and Jay Z, the Down To The Woods crowd are assured of a huge performance.
The headliners will be joined by Scottish legends Primal Scream and platinum selling Catfish and the Bottlemen.
Event organiser Jonathan Woodliffe said: “Chase & Status haven’t performed live in this set up for a number of years, so it’s a massive coup for us to bag them for Down To The Woods and let our festival-goers enjoy a superb festival at an incredibly affordable price”.
Festival artist booker, tinyCOW’s Lee O’Hanlon, said, “We’re absolutely delighted to land an amazing line up like this. Primal Scream, Chase and Status, Catfish and the Bottlemen, loads more incredible acts and even more yet to come. “Primal Scream headline much larger festivals in their own right and Catfish and the Bottlemen have already sold out the 8,000 capacity Manchester Castlefield Bowl this summer, putting in context what a massive coup securing all of these great acts really is.”
Other acts set to appear on this stage during the weekend include hotly tipped artists like Kloe, Holy Esque, Pixel Fix, Kagoule, Fronteers, White, Inheaven, Neon Waltz, No Hot Ashes, Tempesst, The Americas, The Barmines, Weekend Sun, Broken Witt Rebels, The White Negroes, exciting solo artist Joe Crookall and future County Durham hero Joe Treacy, with even more acts to be announced soon.
