Saturday October 29

1pm-10pm

As the first day of the festival, it’s only right that this will have the more traditional element of the beer festival which has made Pocktoberfest the success it is, but with the added bonus of various local musicians performing on two stages, providing music you can drink, chat and tap your foot to.

• NEO SOUL are our evening headliners whose Motown, soul and disco class make them hugely popular on the party circuit.
• THE HABITUAL DRUNKARDS - a mixed bag of folk, country, pop et al...
• TOM MORRIS AND ADAM WEIKERT – exciting mix of post-folk
• MILES CAIN – York-based musician, storyteller and writer                                                                                              
• TRISTAN CLOPET – see Sunday listing

Sunday October 30

2pm-11pm

We are really pleased to have attracted such an impressive music line-up to Pocklington and they will be providing top level music for your enjoyment throughout the day. 

• BILLY BRAGG – without doubt, the Bard of Barking is one of the best known and best loved artists of his generation. Expect to be inspired.
• SETH LAKEMAN - widely regarded as the UK’s foremost folk singer songwriter, expect a captivating, energetic and undeniably compelling live show. 
• HAYSEED DIXIE – proud to call themselves "A Hillbilly Tribute To AC/DC,". Not to be missed.
• THEA GILMORE – acclaimed British singer-songwriter, described as "the most prolific & intelligent songwriter of her generation".
• ahab – their gorgeous melodies have seen them cited as the best thing since Mumford & Sons
• 3 DAFT MONKEYS - one of the most popular - and certainly quirky - touring bands on the UK festival scene.
• TRISTAN CLOPET – Think a collaboration between Jeff Buckley, Graham Coxon and Anthony Kiedis and you'll get Tristan.
