1OO of the best unsigned artists of 2012 on show
BOMfest will be in its eighth year this summer and from its humble beginnings in 2005, next to the Barnsley main pit shaft and with “cap in hand”, this event has defied all odds and become Yorkshire’s most cutting edge supporter of original unsigned artists and prides itself as also being the best value for money event in the U.K.
As early as 2009, BOMfest was recognised by the Telegraph newspaper as one of the top 100 events of that year, whilst still only hosting four stages and in the past two years, and after securing what now seems to be a home for BOMfest at Worsborough mill and country park, Barnsley, South Yorkshire S70 5LJ, the event has evolved into an “all weekend” camping, eight stage spectacular whilst still keeping loyal to its spirit and ethos.
This years chosen artists have been selected from over 1000 applicants and many hours of checking out live performances at the “South sea ” in Sheffield, and with the limited number of available slots on offer to performers at this years event, the artists chosen to play can rest assured that in this hard knock, labour of love industry, BOMfest has recognised their dedication and hard work. Every artist deserves the support and encouragement which I am sure the BOMfest revellers will provide to make BOMfest 2012 a day to remember for Performers, volunteers and attendees.
Thanks for your support
The Danse Society will be playing their long awaited homecoming gig at BOMfest this year. The band havent played in Barnsley for 30 years and have just reformed and completed a new album which they will be promoting with a tour. Surely the old school crowd will be out on 28th July to give the lads a loud welcome back. The Danse Society will be performing on the main stage and BOMfest would like to take this opportunity to welcome them aboard.
