Acidfest Hastings with Thee Lucifer Sams, The Dead Zoo + more

ACIDFEST is a truly psychedelic, travelling roadshow featuring visuals and far-out sounds. It's organized by the Liverpool Psychedelic Society and has taken place all over the UK, besides Reykjavik, Iceland and Austin, Texas. 

Thee Lucifer Sams are true visionaries, refusing to put their music on platforms such as Spotify or having social media. Their mix of semi-improvised psychedelic noise draws equally from the abstraction of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Lemmy's Hawkwind and Sonic Youth noise - with no songs, just a full-on psychedelic, sonic rollercoaster.

The Dead Zoo are a proudly trans led, corn fed noisy post-punk band from London, who always put on an energetic live set, and are always worth watching.

Eels! Eels! Eels! join us for the first time - and first time in Hastings too. Energetic alt-rock with healthy doses of psych and already played on the radio.

Madonovan is the best shoegaze artist you've never heard before, and an unique concept - a tribute to itself, covering songs written, but never released, over 30 years ago. A cathartic ode to lost youth, dreams and rock'n'roll itself.

Acidfest is more than just a "gig", but a true happening.
