Now We Are Weekender

Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th April from 1pm to 2am
2 days, 2 stages, 32 amazing acts, 1 unique venue!

A new independent music festival celebrating the thrills, spills and bellyaches of indie-pop ‘n rock, heads to The Public over the weekend of the 7 and 8 April.

The NOW WE ARE WEEKENDER, which promises to be one of the best fast paced musical mash-ups debuting this year, will feature over 30 bands with headliners including Misty's Big Adventure, Art Brut, Toy Horses and The Lovely Eggs. (Find out how you can be involved!)

Organised by London based Funny Looking Cat, the Easter weekend mini-festival will present everything from twee indie pop to rock ‘n’ roll mayhem across two stages and include some of the finest bands from across the West Midlands and the UK.

The two day event will also include a fascinating array of handcrafted merchandise stalls (Stall holders wanted: click here) and family friendly workshops for all ages to enjoy, and will also feature DJs from the UK indie club circuit spinning tracks in to the early hours, for festival goers determined to dust off their dancing shoes.

Hi,
just wondering what sorts of hand crafted items you are interested in for the weekend and how do I go about booking a table?

Why is half of this festival being held on Easter Sunday? It's a really bad idea I'm afraid, not only is public transport very poor on that day, but most people have family/other commitments thats day. Very poor planning.
