Noisily Festival Line Up 2013


Here we go again!

Noisily 2013 is well and truly underway and today sees the launch of our second wave of artists and the completion of our line up, which, as you can see from the image below, is as diverse as it is brilliant.



After such a fantastic weekend last year we decided to take a break and come back for more. You’ll notice a few of our artists from 2012 are back; Eveson will be mixing it up and playing a House set on Saturday night at The Treehouse, Atomic Drop are sure to throw their dirty grooves down on our newly built Tipi Stage, whilst Real Nice will carry out Sunday in collaboration with Oxford based Thesedays for those of you who fancy something a little mellower than the Trance at the Tipi.

As well as these stalwarts Noisily will be welcoming many new additions to our growing family.

Tickled Pig, a stand-up comedy night founded in Leeds several years ago with the goal of creating a stage for potential comedians to flex their humerus, will be showcasing some of the best up-and-coming talent the UK has to offer. You can expect 3 hours of carefully curated laughter on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons, so for those who would like a break from the bass that will be lashing the rest of the site, our new chill out area complete with cake shop and live performance arts will be the perfect place to recharge your batteries before the final push into Sunday night.

For those of you who came along last year you may have seen a rather attractive wooden gazebo in our campsite, this belonged to a great friend of ours who was launching a prototype to be used in festival campsites in order to create a sense of community, and to provide a welcome (and extremely beautiful) shelter and focal point for people to gather around whilst out of the festival site. So it came to pass that the ‘Handsome Hardwood Field Lounge’ was born.


From humble beginnings at Noisily the Field Lounge multiplied and jumped in with gusto to the Secret Garden Party and Wilderness Festivals respectively. Back for year two and we will be building a Field Lounge village on site that will act as a wonderful place to relax and hang out, whilst observing the workings of the festival from up on top of our hill. A stone’s throw from the bar and housing your breakfast of boutique bacon butties and real proper coffee, the Field Lounge Village will be the perfect place to start you day.

With food in mind we are also taking great care to put on a real spread for you this year to ensure no one ever goes hungry, we all know a healthy diet is part of a healthy body, and a festival is no exception!

Last year the main stage, aptly named Noisily Hall in ode to the estate on which the festival takes place, was situated up a long corridor towards the North of the site. Conscious of the intimacy that the festival needs to be successful (and the fact that no one likes to be too far from their next drink), we have cleared out a new area in the centre of the site where we will be building a rather large Tipi with a stage inside. Here you can expect to see Electrixx, Atomic Drop and the Plump DJs on Friday, Electric Rescue, James Monro, Ticon and yours truly on Saturday, then 19 full hours of Psy Trance on Sunday from the likes of Dirty Saffi, Lucas, Hamish, Liquid Ross, Bahar Canca, Avalon, and of course, Perfect Stranger.

Bassline Productions, our in house audio and lighting wizards, are back and bigger than ever. They will be bringing a lorry load of lighting, lasers, smoke, haze, Funktion One and Opus Audio, and plenty of other weird and wonderful gizmos that the layman can’t comprehend, in order to turn the woods into a truly magical place to be. Combine this with the additional help of the projection gurus behind the Meteor stage at Glade, and the return of Rupert Newman (with whom Bassline did a job at Chequers for David Cameron in October!!) who built the enormous 3D mapping installation last year, Noisily promises to attack all of your senses from every angle.

Prepare yourselves for an extravaganza in the woods this year; we can’t wait to have you round for tea!
