Ceiling Demons - Dual Sides
Bringing something very special to #HarFest2014 will be Yorkshire hip-hop trio Ceiling Demons.
They have already supported none other than De La Soul earlier this year and have received great praise from the legendary Arrested Development!
Identical twin brothers Psy and Dan Demon together with Beat Demon have been busy publicising their visit to Rossendale and are clearly looking forward to it!
The last album, Dual Sides received great critical acclaim and we're honoured to have them along.

My Little Brother - If We Never Came Down
In May of this year, My Little Brother released one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year so far.
