Coheed, Thrice for Hevy Fest

Coheed And Cambria and Thrice have been confirmed as headline acts for this year’s Hevy Fest in August.

Both are special sets – it’s the first UK show in over three years for the reunited Thrice, while Coheed are to perform classic album In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 in full.

Also confirmed for the festival in Port Lympne, Kent, are The Get Up Kids, playing Something To Write Home About in full, Touche Amore, Hacktivist, Black Tusk, Baby Godzilla, Continents, Creeper, Fort Hope, Fathoms, The Colour Line and Wraiths.

They join previously-announced The Dillinger Escape Plan, Monuments, Vales, Grader, Up River, OHHMS and Collisions.

Dozens more bands remain to be announced. Tickets are on sale now although Tier 1 weekend camping is already sold out. Find out more.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
