Nottingham’s own Sleaford Mods will play at next year’s Beat the Streets festival put on to raise money for the homeless.
The duo will play the one day festival on Sunday January 28 which takes place across the city.
Sleaford Mods will join Ferocious Dog, The Invisible Orchestra, Lawnmower Deth, Rolo Tomassi Kagoule and Eyre Llew.
Other confirmed acts include Georgie, Tusk, Nina Smith, Vigilantes, Super Furniture, Lisa Hendricks, Rob Green, Jimi Mack, Nactus Kunan, Headsticks, Crosa Rosa, Brad Dear Band, Bone Cult, Babe Punch and Ashfields.
Jason Williamson from Sleaford Mods said: “We hope we can help raise good money for the growing number of people sleeping on Nottingham’s streets.”
Six piece folk-rock band from Warsop Ferocious Dog will play the festival and have previously sold out Rock City and three consecutive nights at Rescue Rooms.
The band said: “As a band who collects food, toiletries and clothing for food banks at all our shows, this was something we were desperate to be a part of.
“Let’s eradicate homelessness full stop.”
The Invisible Orchestra, a 24 piece band playing a mix of funk, soul, jazz and big band with a rotating cast of guest vocalists, also play the festival.
George Akins from DHP Family, running the festival, said: “For just a suggested donation of a tenner, Beat the Streets is a fantastic way to see top national touring bands that have already sold out venues such as Rescue Rooms and Rock City and raise funds for a great cause at the same time.
“It is increasingly evident that we have a growing problem with homelessness in the city.
“Beat the Streets aims to be a force for positive change, using music to bring together the Nottingham community and raise vital funds for homeless people in need.”
