Beacons Festival is evolving in 2015 and will become Beacons Metro.
The festival will leave it's home of Skipton and move to pastures new in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester. The festival will consist of a series of film, music, food and art events, taking place across venues in the different cities. Further details are expected in March.
Beacons Metro spokesman Simon Stevens said:
"Despite then feeling that 2014 was the best Beacons Festival so far, the feedback we received from the vast majority of festival goers in 2014 was that the cost of attending a traditional, camping festival was becoming increasingly difficult to meet.
Our desire to make Beacons more accessible combined with the opportunity to work with some amazing partners at some truly unique spaces, was enough to convince us that the time was right to move onto the next stage of the festival's evolution.
In October 2015, Beacons will be taking over an incredible 3 storey, former textile mill in the heart of Leeds city centre. We'll be collaborating with some amazing partners to deliver a full 12 week program of cutting edge music, art, film and food events in over 11,000 square feet of previously unused space.
In Manchester and Liverpool the Beacons team will be collaborating on a number of exciting events in some amazing spaces."
Full venue, programming and ticketing information will be released over the coming weeks. Check here for updates.
