A new festival launches next year, Safe As Milk will be happening from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd April 2017, at Pontins, Prestatyn Holiday Centre, in North Wales.

Named after Captain Beefheart’s 1967 debut album, the event brings together a curated blend of music across genres and geographies, and also offers a marketplace with globally recognised record labels and sellers, an extensive film programme, screen printed gig poster exhibitions, real time lathe cutting from live sets, food, craft ales and much more.

The event has been put together by the minds behind TUSK festival and alt.vinyl in Newcastle and will feature a line-up that includes Shirley Collins, Omar Souleyman, The Residents, This Is Not This Heat, ooioo, Islam Chipsy & Eek, Nurse With Wound, Grouper, Hieroglyphic Being, Dopplereffekt, Horse Lords, and Brainbombs.

Founder, Graham Thrower said, "What do you want from a festival? A real diversity of artists delivering powerful sets, a great environment to spend time with your mates, and plenty of stuff going on when the bands aren't playing."

Co- founder Lee Etherington continued, "But we want more from a festival too - good food, films, exhibitions, good beer, workshops, great records to buy, gig posters, guest DJs - we're taking this format to the next level and beyond, it's going to be the best weekend you've ever had at a festival."

Graham concluded, "It just seemed like the right time to put it all together...."

Tickets will go on sale on the 31st October and eFestivals will have links to buy them then, they will be starting with super early birds priced from £139.99 including accommodation.

Tickets will include accommodation in private apartments. All tickets include a 3-day festival pass and 3 nights accommodation.
