This year's Beacons Festival saw the likes of Daughter, Darkside, Neneh Cherry, Jon Hopkins, Hookworms, 65daysofstatic, Melt Yourself Down and Joan as Policewoman. Whilst other entertainment on site included art commissions, exhibitions and local street food.

Despite the adverse weather conditions across the UK which saw Cornwall's Boardmasters master cancel their programming for the festival on the Sunday, Skipton's Beacons managed to hold out with only a number of smaller acts on the new outdoor Argyll Stage, the Redbull music studio stage East Leeds Fm stage being cancelled in the final hours.The only main stage band to have their set stopped was The Fall but they reappeared to perform a truly amazing version of Mr Pharmacist.

Festival promoter Ashley Kollakowski said the following:

“We changed the layout of the festival and incorporated more things into the main arena - which really worked. The glorious sunshine of Saturday and standout performances from local acts like Hookworms and Galaxians. By Sunday night with the hurricane coming over, the Health and Safety team worked super hard and kept the show going. The Fall’s set was stopped briefly due to weather but they came back on playing a roaring version of Mr Pharmacist. Neneh Cherry praised the whole team for making her feel welcome and working hard to shelter them from the storm. Darkside closed the festival in true headliner style. Beacons 2014 was a truly great and inspiring festival.”

Beacons Festival will return in 2015. Early Bird tickets are on sale now here priced £59.50 plus usual booking fees. The Festival will take place between Thursday 6th August - Sunday 9th August 2015.
