Kasabian, Ash, Babyshambles, The Fall, The Whip, Twisted Wheel, Nine Black Alps, The Frattelis, The Chameleons, Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are amongst the thousands of bands who’ve performed at The Castle in Oldham which is about to celebrate it’s 10th year with a 4 day music festival.

The Castle’s Manager Steve Jones said ” We’ve always encapsulated the spirit of rock n roll at the castle and proudly have never been a pay to play venue. We have a proud tradition of musicians working at the castle on the bar before they made it big. Dave Jones from nine black alps and now the Cribs, Danny Saville from the whip both worked here for a number of years. How better to celebrate 10 years of rock n rolling than with 4 days of it – amongst the many acts, we’re thrilled to have The Janice Granham Band and Peter Hook & The Light closing the festival.”
