65 DAYS OF STATIC
Fuzz Club heroes and Sheffield industrial noise legends, 65 DAYS OF STATIC return to the Foundry stage to bring us a triumphant aural birthday treat for the past ten years.
The band have had a stream of constant success over the past 8 years, with 3 albums under their belt, tours of Europe, Japan and, most recently, a support slot with The Cure in the States.
With celebrated visuals from long time collaborators and Sheffield institutions MEDIA LOUNGE, this promises to be a very special show indeed.
KID ACNE (DJ SET)
Local artistic renaissance man, KID ACNE started out as an illustrator/graffiti artist, providing art work for Warp Records and most of Sheffield's walls, Acne released "Romance Ain't Dead" in 2007 to much love and acclaim.
As if he wasn't good enough already with the brush, pen and mic, Kid Acne will grace the Foundry stage for what will be a unique, eclectic and, ultimately, barn-storming DJ set.
