Alchemy announces Astralasia, Inner Terrestrials, & RDF

Astralasia, Inner Terrestrials, and Radical Dance Faction (RDF) have all been announced as headliners for this year's September Alchemy Festival.

Inner Terrestrials will provide a stomping mix of dub, punk, ska, folk and general anarchic fun to close out the main Philosophers Stone stage on the opening night.

Ambient-dub trance masters Astralasia will headline the same main stage stage on Saturday night, whilst old punk Borderline Cases R.D.F headline that same night on the Kaplick stage. No other acts have been confirmed for the line-up yet.

Alchemy Festival has also announced it will be offering grants of up £300 to groups or individuals to provide art works for the site. This will be an opportunity for small groups and individuals to get their work displayed to a large number of people as well as enhance the experience of people visiting the site. Organisers are encouraging all forms of art but are particularly interested in pieces formed from re-cycled materials that will fit with the ethos of the event being as green as practicable.

There will be no restrictions on the size or structure of a piece of art – only that it is safe for people to be near and touch. There are a variety of settings where art can be displayed, from trees to an oxbow lake, stages to marquees.

If you would like a application form please email - alchemy.festival@live.com – there is a cut off date for applications of 1st July 2012.

The festival will also include a bubble tent, and circus area with fire shows, jugglers, poi and many other oddities! The site will have many works of art and sculptures, stalls, more food traders than last year, tarot readers and communal fire pits, and every day will be a dress fancy day.

There will be a large children's area at Alchemy containing circus skills, workshops, bubbles, face painting, shows, talks and performances. There will even be a children's open mic. Everything in the childrens area will be free. The festival aims to be as green as possible and support fair trade, and hopes to have a local cider company on site selling homemade cider and mead.
