Rock band HAiG added to Rochdale Feel Good Festival 2022 line-up

HAiG is joining the line up for the Feel Good Festival in August 2022

Rock band HAiG has been announced as the latest act to join the Rochdale Feel Good Festival line up for next year.

Set for Saturday 13 August in Rochdale Town Hall Square, the band will play the festival’s main stage next summer.

HAiG - comprising former Catfish and The Bottlemen founder Billy Bibby, Carl Forbes, and Joe Money (former New York Tourists) - are described as one ‘that explodes out the blocks like a giant confetti cannon spreading anthemic guitar hooks, haymaking drum and bass and beer raising choruses.'

The band signed a worldwide record deal in 2019 and have already played sold out shows across the north of England to a rapidly expanding fan base. Their debut EP 'Freeze the World' was released in 2020 and their debut album is due to be released in late 2022, promising rock and roll to make your ears tingle.

For now, the band are excited about getting back on the road, with a stack of gigs and festivals in their diary, including their Rochdale debut.

Billy Bibby said: "For us it's all about getting back out and playing live, we live for it! We can't wait for Rochdale next summer."

HAiG will be joined by previously announced headliner The Fratellis, northern soul band The Northern Soultrain, Manchester singer/songwriter Abbie Ozard, multi-talented musician Aziz Ibrahim, alternative dance band ENTT, indie/folk duo Firewoodisland, DJ Dave Sweetmore and a local battle of the band’s winner yet to be announced. 

The annual Feel Good Festival will also feature another showcase of food and culture and top-class entertainment with live music across indoor venues and an outdoor main stage.

Tickets are, for the first time, priced at £7 and are on sale now.

The festival is funded by Rochdale Borough Council together with ticket sales and sponsorship from local businesses.
