Creature Creature are
no strangers to big stages and tie-ins with the good and the great, having performed at the likes of previous
Hastings Fat Tuesday Festivals and Devon's
Beautiful Days (founded by, and managed by fellow Brighton-based band
The Levellers) where they shared the bill with the likes of
Manic Street Preachers and
The Hives.
The local five-piece will be playing playing five unplugged sets at five venues in five hours on Saturday 26th February.
They appear as part of this year's five day town wide celebration which will present over 350 free gigs, gatherings, parties and parades alongside ticketed events, with internationally acclaimed artists from across the globe appearing alongside a wealth of local bands.
In the 12 years since its conception, Hastings five-day Fat Tuesday Music Festival has rapidly become one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the South East and further afield in the nation's music calendar.
Named the most musically sophisticated town or city in the UK, Hastings boasts a local music scene to rival many bigger places across the country.
The whole area gets behind the madness, colour and eclectic musical diversity of the festival whether part of the programme or not with venues, restaurants and bars across the town wildly decorated and bursting full of eccentric, costumed party goers for the full five days.
The first acts of the popular Saturday Unplugged tour (26 Febuary) are announced, with Danny George Wilson and the Savage 2nd Line joining the 60 local and national bands touring 30 pubs and bars throughout Hastings and St Leonards, with five Hastings New Town venues joining the tour.
The day culminates with indie rock band The Magic Numbers headlining at the Brass.
The band have just celebrated their 15 year anniversary with an extensive autumn tour across the UK.
