Start your summer off right, come and join Ferocious Dog at this epic all-dayer, at the oldest music hall in the country: Victoria Hall Settle.
This iconic venue will play host to a packed schedule of live bands. The day kicks off with Jack Kendrick; not your typical solo artist, Jack takes elements from punk, country and traditional folk to create his own style of music which is sure to get you primed and ready for a stellar line up with sets from Not Quite Dead Yet who previously rocked out The Boston Gliderdrome at Dogfest 24, and The Cloverhearts, one of the newest, and fastest growing bands in the Celtic Punk scene today. Sub headliners Headsticks set the scene for the almighty Ferocious Dog.
An intimate venue, there are only 400 tickets available. 14+ age limit for this event.
If you were still unsure whether to come and party with us, there will be an exclusive outdoor open mic stage running throughout the day. The formidable FD duo Sam and Ken will be playing an acoustic set middle of the afternoon.

Ferocious Dog

More than a band, they are a family. “To listen to the Ferocious Dog as it snarls and growls at the world is to show responsibility” said a Louder Than War review of their brilliant, recently released and Fake News and Propaganda album, but this is an outfit that shows compassion too. They’ve been hailed as “a representation of our gut feeling, savage and merciless” and at the same time, called “folk in the grand tradition of it being the peoples sound.” Ferocious Dog, however are all those things. And that, in a world where the lines of truth are blurred by the rich, powerful and corrupt, is priceless. A band that does drives for foodbanks – not for headlines, but because it was the right thing to do - a band that welcomes Big Issue, Hunt Sabs and conservationists Sea Shepherd to their shows. No, here the feeling is important. Ferocious Dog is the group where fans were tattooed in the shop belonging to the lead singer, Ken Bonsall, where the violinist and band leader, Dan Booth prints the posters, and Ryan Brooks plays the lead guitar. They can wow a punk festival one minute, a folk festival the next – and fit right in anywhere.…
