Acid Horse, a three day, two stage festival in Wiltshire featuring headliners Matmos, William Doyle, Dyslecta, The Utopia Strong, Michael, Regis, Karl D’Silva and Slav To The Rhytym, is coming close to selling the last of its weekend and day tickets.
The weekend also contains a mobile sound barrow, numerous independent food concessions, a badge making workshop, a guided walk around eerie Alton Barnes led by local archaeologist, a Warhammer 40k miniature painting workshop and a nightly blazing campfire. It will be a chance to see a lot of music live that tQ has been really enjoying over the last 12 months including Milkweed, Dawn Terry, Rattle, MPTL Microplastics, 2rana 3crana, and many more, including DJ sets from the intriguing – if somewhat worrying – sounding Naked Brunch on Sunday and Gary Meat Feast on Saturday.
