I didn’t realise Jon Poole was back playing with The Wildhearts again.

There’ll be strong #cardiacs adjacent representation at #beardedTheory this year, what with Ginger, Jon Poole and Mike Vennart all performing.

Last night's theaardvark live is in the archive. New microphone, eclectic playlist with a heavy Bearded Theory influence, and a live pork scratching tasting that the Committee expressly disclaimed responsibility for.

Four highly discerning listeners with impeccable taste. Quality over quantity, right?

Dare I say it, but….but….the long range weather forecast for #beardedTheory next weekend is looking good?!? 😯

Splits for #beardedTheory are up, and Clashfinder has been updated

I'm pleasantly surprised to see The Damned are on the main stage, despite playing below Skunk Anansie. I'd expected them to be in the Meadow tent as their punk/goth headline act.

Well, this is the best news I’ve had today! Walpurgis added to the #beardedTheory lineup on the Sunday night!

Praise Iommi. Praise Butler. Praise Ward. Praise Osbourne.

Reposting one of my gig pics for #monochromeMonday

This was taken while watching Leftfield in the big tent at #beardedTheory 2025.

I’ve no idea who the subject is, they just caught the light and I whipped my iPhone out to get the shot.

#photography #liveMusic

The more I hear of Chalk on the radio the more I like. Really looking forward to seeing them at #beardedTheory in May

RE: https://sfba.social/@historyofpunkrock/116016053700252105

Very much looking forward to seeing these guys at #beardedTheory in May

Bearded Theory has dropped its full 2026 lineup! 🌳🎸

Huge new additions include Everything Everything, The Horrors, The Twilight Sad, and Irvine Welsh. They join headliners Pixies, Garbage, and Skunk Anansie for the annual gathering at Catton Park this May.

Check out the full breakdown here:

#BeardedTheory #FestivalLineup #UKFestivals #LiveMusic #EverythingEverything #TheHorrors

Oh, and she’s doing a solo slot *and* playing with The Wildhearts at #beardedTheory this year.

Well, I've taken the plunge and ordered some LoRa bits and pieces off aliexpress.

I want to see if we can use #meshtastic to keep in touch when we're at #beardedTheory festival later in the year, where I know that mobile data is almost non-existent.

I saw Adwaith in the woods at #beardedTheory last year and they were very good. I expect to see them on much bigger stages in the future. https://toot.wales/@NationCymru/115830448743238839

@sharongascoigne I’ve been having a listen to the bands I don’t know on the lineup for next year’s #beardedTheory

Have a listen to Venus Grrrls, I think they may be up your strasse. They’ve got a kinda Fuzzbox meets All About Eve thing going on…

The #beardedTheory website uses this awful visual style that's really hard to read. All caps, and very narrow word spacing.

But the weird thing is, if you copy paste the text into an editor it's all properly formatted. It looks like they've used a typeface for the webpage that transposes everything to upper case. Why would you do that? 🫤

Oh, hell yes. As I suspected might be the case, Garbage have been added to the #beardedTheory lineup for next year 🤩

Also very pleased to see The Damned, Idlewild, Sprints, The Wedding Present

(Warning, the text on the page is *very* hard to read, for me at least. Accessibility and design not a thing?)

#beardedTheory 2026 first wave of acts announced.

Big Special, Getdown Services, Sprints, The Unthanks, Goldie, PWEI, Senser, Wedding Present and Miki Berenyi are standouts for me from that lot.

I'll watch Pixies and Skunk Anansie if there's nothing better...I've not see PWEI since Clint left, so that could be interesting.

I was really pleased with this pic from #beardedTheory last weekend (taken during Leftfield's set). I just wanted a little grain on it, so this is my finished version.

I hope SheilaCat (the subject) gets to see it someday.

#nowPlaying Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer

I saw this lot at #beardedTheory last weekend and was very taken with them. If I was still living in Nottingham I'd likely have seen them before now, but am glad to be a latecomer.

I love Tiger's voice; that and the music reminds me a lot of Rilo Kiley and Wilco.

I didn’t actually take many pictures of bands this year, as I was too busy enjoying the performances 🤷‍♂️ #beardedTheory

Some #beardedTheory pics…

Back home after a fab weekend at #beardedTheory

I am broken, but soooo many good bands 😆

Well, that's a cold and tired wrap to 5 days of #BeardedTheory music festival. Our first festival with MrsVark in a wheelchair. Reassuring to know we can still pay with the best of them and, with the right planning plus some accommodating people, we can still be right at the front, on the barrier for our favourite bands.

Oh! How embarrassing. Someone's wearing the same beard as me!
#FashionFauxPas #PurpleBeards #BeardedTheory

Slightly grubby, chipped and worn day 3 festival nails with a couple of new rings bought this weekend. #BeardedTheory

Hey, followers and #thePlaylist ppl: tell me what bands to go and see at #beardedTheory this weekend!

I’m more interested in finding unusual stuff further down the listings that I might not have heard of before…

Looking at it now and that is a fucking good lineup, particularly for the '6 Music Dads' out there. :catjam:

#BeardedTheory

Good luck to all those headed to Bearded Theory festival, hope the weather holds and the car park doesn't become a swamp.
A cracking line up from what I can see!

Music festivals are one of the few things we do well on this island. I hope Climate Change doesn't fuck it.

#BeardedTheory #UKFestivals

Just heard that all live dates for the Miki Berenyi Trio have been cancelled.

Which is annoying, as I was quite looking forward to seeing them at #beardedTheory this weekend 😔

I see they’ve released the day splits for #beardedTheory

Good to see Bentley Rhythm Ace bumped up to the Meadow stage after their amazing set in Coda last year. But they didn’t know what to do with The Sisters of Mercy, did they? 😬😆

I *really* want to go to #beardedTheory again this year. There's so much good stuff on the lineup, but we told The Boy he couldn't go as it's in the middle of GCSEs, and I don't think it's fair I go without him 🫤

Oh wow... festival-specific hire of off-road wheelchairs/mobility scooters! If we can find the money for these, then it might mean MrsVark and I can still go to #BeardedTheory and #BeautifulDays this year despite her FND.

@witewulf I totally misunderstood this and thought #BeardedTheory was something like #Movember. I was very confused.

I get it now. But goodness. That threw me!
