Embrace to host Secret Festival

Embrace, who have a long history of staging secret gigs, have announced they are to host their own Secret Festival.

The day long event will take place on Saturday 6th September at a secret location, all ages are welcome and camping is available to those who want to stay overnight. Information about the exact location will only be divulged to ticket holders nearer the time of the event.

The band have hosted secret gigs in lots of strange location from forest to caves, beaches to blacked-out basements, stately homes, the Big Brother house and even a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean, so where the festival could be held could be anyone's guess.

Talking of the event, Embrace frontman, Danny McNamara said; "We've been doing our secret gigs in weird and wonderful places for as long as we've been a band, the Secret Festival idea just seemed like a natural extension of that. We want to extract the DNA from each of the secret gigs we've done so far and transplant it into a private outdoor area in the middle of nowhere and see how it works.

"The last few have been getting progressively larger and scarier, but this one is by far our most ambitious. I don't know how on earth we are going to follow this, it's like the secret gig to end all secret gigs. Expect some big surprises at this one, we want to create something that people will remember for the rest of their lives."

The band have recently been announced as headliners of the Tour De France Opening Ceremony at Leeds Arena on 3rd July and will also be performing at festivals this summer including T in the Park and V Festival before they stage their own Secret Festival in September.
