The Bug & Dylan Carlson to play Fat Out Fest 2017

Salford's DIY art and music promoters Fat Out Til You Pass Out have unveiled the initial line-up for Fat Out Fest 2017.

With the ongoing collaboration between dubtronica producer The Bug and Earth's Dylan Carlson at the top of the bill, there will also be performances from stargazing Newcastle outfit Blown Out, Leeds' noise-rockers Cattle and Tokyo's experimental synth-wavers Group A.

The bill is also set to include Portugal's motorik psych duo JIBÓIA, lounge metallers Lake of Snakes, tripped-out pop from Japan’s Qujaku, and returning volume titans Part Chimp .

The 2017 festival's artistic directors will be Brooklyn-based collective CHERYL, who specialise in independent video, art and performance, with "an all-encompassing experience" in the pipeline. There will also be a variety of artist-led workshops, installations, surprise performances, DJs and speciality foods – plus, as they say, "shit-loads of glitter".

Now in its fourth edition, the festival takes place between 14-16 April 2017 in the warehouse spaces of Islington Mill, Caustic Coastal and Regents Trading 5.

Fat Out Til You Pass Out will curate a stage on each of the three days, with a series of international curators set to collaborate on the event, including Lisa Mayer (Supersonic Festival, Birmingham), Anthony Chalmers (Baba Yaga’s Hut, London), Garth Be (Sweet Sticky, Manchester), John Doran (The Quietus), Lovers and Lollypops (Milhoes de Festa Festival, Portugal) and a collaboration between Le Guess Who? (Netherlands) and The Basilica (Hudson Valley).

Tickets are available now via fatout.co.uk and Skiddle.
