A festival spokesman said: “We’re proud to have an event that we feel has a true festival spirit. We’ve added literary stages, punk art exhibitions, acoustic stages, poetry, vintage clothing, tattooists, healing workshops and much more. But at our heart we’re still punk and we’re still 100 per cent independent and a true DIY family run event.”
