DUB PISTOLS TO HEADLINE “OFF THE TRACKS FESTIVAL”

Dub Pistols are today confirmed as the final headline act for Off The Tracks Summer Festival.

The London band will close the main stage on Saturday night, following their phenomenal show at Off The Tracks Spring Festival in May.

Festival director Andy Cooper says: “Dub Pistols’ performance in May was one of the most memorable we’ve ever had – more than two hours, with four encores. We thought long and hard about the Saturday night headline act for the Summer festival, but in the end there was no doubt and we’re proud to welcome them back.”

Dub Pistols’ founder Barry Ashworth says: “It’s fantastic to be invited back to headline Off The Tracks so soon. The response we got from the crowd at the May festival was off the scale and we’ve been buzzing about it ever since.”

Off The Tracks rounds off a busy summer for Dub Pistols, who are touring and playing festivals in support of their critically-acclaimed new album ‘Worshipping The Dollar’, released on Sunday Best Records.

Off The Tracks, celebrating its 24th anniversary in 2012, takes place at Park Farmhouse, Isley Walton, Derbyshire, from August 31-September 2.

Also on the bill are The Beat, Dodgy and Banco De Gaia, plus Rory McLeod and the Familiar Strangers, Edward II, Phantom Limb, The Lucky Strikes, The Beekeepers, Moon’shee and more.

Off The Tracks offers more than 40 artists on three stages, impromptu acoustic sessions as well as 80+ real ales, ciders and perries, excellent camping facilities and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Food on offer includes venison reared in the venue’s own historic deer park.

Advance weekend tickets are priced £70. Advance youth tickets are £40 (12-16 years old). Admission is free for under-12s. Tickets are available now from www.offthetracks.co.uk and all parking and camping is free for advance ticket holders.

Brixton Gig Review: Dub Pistols light up Electric Brixton – Friday May 11th 2012

Under the direction of Barry Ashworth, Dub Pistols have built up an explosive live reputation packing as many gigs in to their schedule as possible all over the planet. At the end of last year they were voted Best Live Act at DJ Magazine’s Best Of British Awards and are currently slap bang in the middle of a new UK tour.

Their visit to Electric Brixton was always going to be special, not just because they had a stellar supporting line up including a live set from High Rankin & DJ slots from Sunday Best’s Rob Da Bank & XFM’s Eddy Temple-Morris, but because this was their new album (Worshipping The Dollar) launch night too.

We arrived around 11pm to find Rob Da Bank already on the decks warming up a well oiled crowd with a rousing mix of breaks and beats. In Room 2 the tunes were darker and deeper as Cash MC, Agman ,PJ & K.I.D hosted a line up of selectors including Shut Up & Dance, Apply The Breaks ? Mash Up Scratch Show, Swifty B, DJ Chug, Jynx, Concept, Lock-Up, One Skinny DJ Ellis Dee & Twista.

By the time Dub Pistols took the stage, the atmosphere was already electric. An up for it crowd of party people cheering, swaying and singing along to a set list that took in songs from the new album as well as some old favourites including a cover of The Stranglers’ ‘Peaches’ featuring the guest vocals of Rodney P who bounced around the stage with boundless energy.

Dub Pistols are famous for blending blissful elements of Dub, Ska, Hip Hop & Electronica. Mixed together on a live stage & backed by guest vocalists, swaggering brass sections and the infectious personality of Barry Ashworth and his band, it was soon shaken up into a molotov cocktail that the friendly crowd at Electric Brixton were only too happy to guzzle down.

After returning to the stage for a victorious encore, Dub Pistols disappeared to rapturous applause and Eddy Temple-Morris took to the decks to keep the main room rocking into the wee small hours. I’d like to tell you I was there until the bitter end, but the cider and sambuca had taken its toll and I stumbled home around half three, leaving everyone else to party on until 6am and what was sure to be a tequila sunrise over Brixton Town.
