Following on from the rip-roaring success of the VDUB Radio Roadshow last year, this year, we are going bigger and better! We are moving the stage into the North section of The HUB, and flipping it sideways to create a massive area for you all to get down and funky. The South section will have lots of seating, food and bars, and will be a great place to pop in, meet friends, or while away some time listening to the music, on your way around the festival.
As well as operating a 24 hour radio station from the stage (available online at vdubradio.com), there will be a full live DJ set from midday to midnight on Friday & Saturday, and 10.00 to 15.00 on Sunday.
THE SHEEP SHED STAGE.
Friday: 19.30 – 21.00 GROWLER
GROWLER are a five-piece Rock covers band based in Oxfordshire. who play a varied selection of classic Rock and Punk songs drawn from the 1960s to the present
I have been a GROWLER fan for many years and always try and see them whenever I can at various gigs around Oxfordshire (and Beyond)
Ultimately, it was their desire to find a niche on the Bike Rally circuit, (which they certainly have managed to do), but I know that they are also perfectly suited to the wonderful BUSFEST crowds at the Sheep Shed.
It has taken a long time, but this year I have finally managed to persuade them to come with us to Malvern and give us a good Growling on the Sheepshed Stage.
Simon
GROWLER play (for the most part) mainly straight covers, but for some others they give their own special twist delivered with gusto and aplomb, and a little bit of humour.- to make things more interesting for themselves, and also to keep audiences on their toes.
With a set-list that ranges from the instantly recognisable (Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath), to the more slightly obscure (The Damned, Dead Kennedys), and the downright ridiculous (abusing of Britney Spears, Cliff Richards and Sugababes songs),
Growler like to consider themselves as one of the more daring covers bands, keen to enjoy their time on stage & ensure the audience are treated to more hard rocking than they usually get, with a few laughs thrown in for good measure.
THE SHEEPSHED STAGE
Friday 21.30 - 23.00 RAMMLIED
Join The BUSFEST Friday night RAMMSTEIN PARTY, with RAMMLIED, the UK’s number one tribute act.
With 15 years of touring across the UK and Europe, Rammlied have honed their live show, incorporating the iconic electro-metal sound and industrial look of the original Neue Deutsche Härte band.
Some of you will know that I am (more than just) a bit of a Rock fan (& that is why I do spend quite a bit of time “Marshalling” at the Sheepshed during the event). With that in mind I am always on the lookout for bands I think will work well at our event.
Performing classic hits like ”Du Hast” , “Dicke Titten” & “Ich Will” (be careful who you list those 3 songs to......) , Rammlied delivers an exhilarating experience that even the most die-hard Rammstein fans will appreciate.
With highly detailed costumes, foam cannons, smoke effects, and of course, pyrotechnics, (and yep, even a rubber dingy!) Rammlied stays true to the original band’s legendary stage production.
When I first saw RAMMLIED perform (not so long after seeing the real Rammstein!) it was a no brainer, they just HAD to be on the SHEEPSHED Stage at this BUSFEST.
We have the venue, and the means to give you ALL the very best Rammstein experience you will ever see and hear.
It is going to be epic folks.. Liebe Is Für Alle Da

It fits into mainstream molds, yet also satisfies a deeper creative taste.
