Family festival Strummercamp is back!

Strummercamp is back again at Oldham Rugby Club on Byrth Road next weekend

It's now 17 years and counting, and Strummercamp is back!

The local family friendly music festival - a tribute to the late Joe Strummer and The Clash - is back again at Oldham Rugby Club on Byrth Road next weekend, Friday to Sunday, May 26-28.

Everyone is welcome at this truly independent, not for profit event run entirely by volunteers, with prices kept deliberately affordable.

Dozens of acts will be playing over the weekend under the large covered marquee, from punk, reggae and rock n roll to ska, blues, funk and acoustic.

Saturday sees ex Public Image Ltd bassist Jah Wobble and the Invaders of the Heart bringing his unique post punk dub and experimental world music vibe.

A poignant tribute to the late Terry Hall will see the Specials covers band, 2 Hot will then make a Two Tone night to remember.

Sunday headliners are Random Hand, West Yorkshire’s finest ska/punk/metal/hip hop/dub specialists who are celebrating their 20 year anniversary.

Other artists will include George Borowski, Blackballed, the Carol Hodge Band, Nosebleed, SWJ Band, and also, of course, Clash, Ramones and Punk classic tributes.

Tickets include free camping on site, and free parking on site (including camper vans).

Adult weekend tickets are £60, while family (2 adults/2 children) tickets cost £120.

Day tickets are £30.

The club house bar will be open all weekend at pub prices - and great value catering, including vegan options.
