Inspiral Carpets will headline the first day of the family friendly Ramsbottom Festival which takes place from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th September 2012 at the riverside location of Ramsbottom Cricket Club, Ramsbottom, in Lancashire.

Support will come from Janice Graham Band. Admiral Fallow, The Leisure Society, Session A9, Roddy Woomble, and Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell will be appearing on Saturday. Sunday's line-up includes , Seth Lakeman, Thea Gilmore, Miles Hunt, Biederbeck fronted by ex-Corrie star Rupert Hill, Harp and a Monkey, Jenny McCormick, and Danny Mahon, with more acts to be announced in due course.

The Ramsbottom Festival is a not-for-profit project managed by The Met, an arts charity and performance venue in Bury. As well as all the bands, Rammy has a fun-filled array of festival activities for all ages, from arts and music workshops and story telling to comedy, a funfair, a real ale tent, food and the silent disco.

David Agnew, festival organiser and director of The Met in Bury, said, "The welcome that the debut festival received last year from everyone including the local audience, seasoned festival-goers, artists, sponsors and music press; was just overwhelming. It was a brilliant festival experience and we've already sold out early bird tickets to our hardcore fans on the strength of last year's event alone.

"We've got a brilliant line up in a great location for a full, family friendly festival on the doorstep of Manchester – we're hopeful that people will welcome it back and enjoy what we’ve put together."

A weekend ticket is priced at £50, a family weekend ticket for two adults and two children (over 6 and under 16) is priced at £120. A child weekend ticket for those aged over 6 and under 16 years is priced at £10. There's free entry for children aged under 6 years but they still need a ticket.
