The alt rockers recently released their fourth album 'The National Health' and will be delivering a srowd pleasing set showcasing this new material alongside their singalong anthems.

"We're all very excited at festival HQ to be announcing Maximo Park," said James Houston, festival director, "Plans for our programme and our new venue are progressing at a rapid pace and it's great to see it all coming together - it's guaranteed to be yet another very fine festival."

The Galtres festival started out as a beer and cider festival that included local based musicians and has gone through a change over the last couple of years and is now considered more of a music festival that has some great locally produced beers/ciders on sale.
