Forever Now, a one-day post-punk festival, is set to take place for the first time on June 22 next year at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes.
The event is being launched by AEG Presents and the full line-up is set to be revealed on December 2.
Ticketing pre-sale access then starts on December 5 with a limited first release ticket available from £85 ($105/€100), before general sale opens at 10am local time on December 6 through AXS and Ticketmaster.
“We are delighted to present a festival that reflects the rich heritage of artists in the alternative music field,” said AEG Presents chief executive Steve Homer.
“The day will feature some amazing artists, unique sets, and collaborations not seen on a UK stage before. As the birthplace of alt counterculture, the UK is the perfect home for a festival to pay homage to alternative creative artistry.”
Forever Now will be the UK sister event to the Cruel World festival which is now in its fourth iteration in the Californian city of Pasadena.
It will feature two stages dedicated to music and a third, called The Echo Chamber, which will be hosted by music journalist John Robb and will host in-depth discussions with renowned artists.
“The world just got less cruel with this announcement of the Forever Now festival that brings the cream of the post-punk crop to Milton Keynes this summer, mixing the old, new, borrowed and blue in a line-up of classic and cutting edge,” said Robb.
“If you feel a nostalgia for an age yet to come whilst still seeking the classic and have a curiosity for the next wave, then this will be a day to get immersed in.”
