Last year’s Radstock was a great success and an even bigger and better line-up is coming to the O2 Academy in Newcastle, on the 30th of March.
The 2014 line up includes British Pop-punks Kids In Glass Houses, Fearless Vampire Killers, Yashin and headliners Funeral For Friend.

Kier Kemp, lead vocalist from Fearless Vampire Killers (aka FVK) told us he was extremely happy to be included on this year’s line-up: “I saw the line-up last year and remember complaining that we weren't on it,” said Kier “So it was lovely to be offered the slot this year!”
Fearless Vampire Killers had a great 2013, playing numerous festivals across the world, supporting emo legends Madina Lake on their farewell tour and collaborating with William Control to produce their forthcoming album. Kier tells us the band are excited to be working with one of their heroes “We love Will, he’s always been a great supporter of ours.” Kier says avidly “working and touring with him was an absolute delight!”
Kier also believes 2014 might be FVK’s year, the band are really happy with the new album: “It's going to be really really good. We've written loads of songs and we're picking the creme de la crème! We really think we've started to capture exactly what Fearless Vampire Killers is right now with this one! It's Dark and brooding with some serious melody.”

The Beccles boys also played the Whitby Goth Weekend last November on the same bill as William Control, and have played North east venues many times since. “ I Love it!! It's like my favourite part of the UK. I don't know what it is about you lot up north. Must be something in the water, but you're mental!”
Kier is also eager to check out some bands himself “There’s loads! Our friends in Yashin are always a laugh and I’ve wanted to see Funeral For A Friend again for ages!”

One thing FVK are most recognised for is their on stage appearance and believe Radstock fans should be able to express themselves as much as they want at a gig like this: “Fans should dress however they blooming well like. Be yourself and be proud!”
Fearless Vampire Killers play alongside Funeral for a Friend, Kids In Glass Houses, Yashin, Feed The Rhino, , Heights, Me Vs Hero, Crooks, The Hype Theory, Hey Vanity, Cytota and Bentley Park on the Radstock main stage on March 30th at Newcastle O2 Academy.
