BURY rockers Urban Theory are set to take to the stage at this year's Head for the Hills Festival, which is now just three months away.

The band were among the latest wave of artists announced for the festival, which takes place at Ramsbottom Cricket Ground from September 14 to 16, alongside Liverpool's eclectic Loka and Scottish folk groups Breabach and Elephant Sessions.

Also being welcomed back to the festival are German Indie-pop outfit Giant Rooks who will be joined on the bill by fellow countrymen Razz.

There is plenty of homegrown Manchester talent too with Salford post-punk duo Giant Boys, singer-songwriter Jess Kemp, retro five-piece Lyla and psychedelic soul and bubblegum-pop infusers The Creature Comfort.

This second wave of acts join an already stellar line-up including headliners The Boomtown Rats, The Bluetones, The Beat and The Selecter.

Tickets priced from £35 for a day and £100 for the weekend, with discounts offered for children, teenagers and families, are available now.
