On Saturday 1st June 2013 Belgian beer brand Vedett Extra Blond, will be the official beer sponsor of the Shepherd’s Bush music festival, Bushstock.
Vedett Extra Blond will be available at the four bars participating, for the duration of the festival to ensure revelers can enjoy the iconic beer, whilst listening to the greatest acts in the capital. Vedett will also be bringing their iconic roving Motel – the world’s first converted cement mixer to host a series of secret gigs with artists from the festival. These secret gigs will be exclusively available to view on Secret Sessions – the live acoustic music channel, featuring the hottest music talent in the UK.
Over 30 bands will play at four venues over the one day festival including the self styled independent beat bunker, Ginglik; music and entertainment venue, Bush Hall; pub, the Defectors Weld, and the crowd’s favourite, St Stephens Church. The lineup is shaping up to be even bigger than previous years. US singer songwriter Willy Mason, indie-pop four piece Theme Park, and singer songwriter Scott Matthews, are just three of the acts this year. They will follow in the footsteps of Bastille, Guillemots, Daughter, Mystery Jets, Michael Kiwanuka and Fionn Regan who wowed the crowds at the previous two years events.
The talent taking to the stage will showcase the very best of west London’s music scene, alongside established acts from the UK and further afield. Tickets for the multi-venue festival are now available, priced at £27.50 from www.bushstock.co.uk.
Matt Willson, Vedett UK comments: “This is our third year of involvement with the Bushstock Festival and the event has always been a perfect match for Vedett. We’re really excited to be the official beer sponsor again in 2013 and can’t wait to see the incredible line up of artists in action. Like previous years, it certainly looks like it will be another great day of live music.”
