Stay safe and don’t forget to spin passionately under the stars!
The date ticks closer and loose ends are starting to come together. What started out as an attempt to resurrect a fallen giant quickly evolved from a few bands to a powerhouse of entertainment. The dedication, determination, and non-stop drive of the organizers and their assistants has led to a true festival atmosphere all spun together in a week’s time.
Bravo to all!
Tonight I will try to consolidate all prior CTRL – Alt-Fest – DELETE postings into one compressed, concise, fact-filled, and confirmed listing of acts and activities while in Kettering.

The original Tribute to The Cure since 1990…..played all over the world having post show beers with as many fellow Cure fans as possible…we are the Quentin Crisps of Cure world..
The Cureheads will headline Friday night wrapping up an amazing lineup with a good old Cure sing-a-long featuring Ron Howe (The Cure’s sax player).
Vocals/Guitar – Gary Clarke Bass- Sean Flude Guitar – Itay Bluebird Keyboard – Roi Robertson Drums – Belle Star
Sinnergod are a Goth/Alternative Metal band hailing from Manchester, UK. Formed by Twin brothers Mark and Chris Hampson in 2001, with the aim to create a band that would create a layered wall of sound consisting of guitar driven riffs and symphonic keyboards.
Dave Jones Mark Hampson Chris Hampson Karl Parker Paul Swindells
Christine Plays Viola are a Darkwave / Goth Rock Italian band formed in PratolaPeligna in 2008. Originally scheduled for Alt-Fest these darkwave kings will bring their beautiful melodies over the seas for our intimate show.
Producing a sensational mix of precise electronica with elements of guitars, drums and keys intertwining seamlessly around passionate female vocals. This results in a sensational, critically acclaimed stage show that guarantees to draw in the audience with their visual effects and energetic stage presence.
Described by Terrorizer as ‘Eerie Macabre Pop‘ these Northern stalwart and original Alt-Festers are going to rock the place with their fine blend of goth, alt, electronica, and all things 40’s & 50’s.
Teresa Dead – Lead Vocals Corin Zero – Guitars, Synths, Programming James Grave – Synths & Backing Vocals Bex Noire – Bass & Backing Vocals Matt Macabre – Drums
+ more tbc followed by rock and retro DJ’s until the early hours! Friday 15th August at The Old Market Inn
MORE BANDS TO BE PRESENTED within the coming days…
ALL THREE DAYS: There will also be some industrial/goth DJs lined up for your pleasure and are currently working on trying to help out with accommodation requests and family themed events.
WORTHY NOTATION TO HEED: ‘Under 18’s are welcome at venues during the day, but no under 18’s after 7 PM (I believe, due to licensing regulations.)’ <-If this applies to you, we advise you to check out the cemented-in-stone venue rules. We’d hate to see a bunch of kids with no place to go because facts were not verified.
SPEAKING OF KIDS, this was also posted (again, we advise you to check out and/or confirm anything and everything when it comes to any event, especially ones involving children):
‘Hey there, Ctrl-Alt-Fest- Deleters! The guys and gals of Kettering have been working hard again today, to bring you a great weekend of entertainment in the town following Alt-Fest’s demise – Just check out the new band announcements.
As Alt-Fest were supposedly offering a family/child friendly zone, we have had queries as to what we can offer for the young alts.
The weekend happens to be a great weekend in Kettering for the kiddies; The Market Place have ‘Kettering by the Sea‘ on Friday and Saturday during the day. Please check the link for details, and the weekend will be week 4 on the schedule, HERE.
The annual Kettering Carnival will also take place on Saturday. The procession will make it’s merry way through Kettering town, heading into the centre and arriving at its final destination, at Kettering Pleasure Park. I believe the Pleasure Park will have fun and games and a small funfair going into the evening. There will also be a family jam happening at one of our venues. Children will also be welcome in the venues during the day, but licensing regs will not allow children at night. We also have Wicksteed Park, a local attraction with a playground and loads of rides, but these rides do come at a cost.’ Click HERE for further details.
So there you have it! Although we’ve consolidated all prior postings into one concise unit, here’s the links to all the originals should you be looking to see how far things have come within a matter of days. 🙂

PRIOR NOTEWORTHY SCRIBBLINGS BY THOSE WHO ARE WORKING TIRELESSLY FOR THE CTRL – Alt-Fest – DELETE MINI-FESTIVAL TO YOU:
Since the demise of Alt Fest, a small group of friends have been working around the clock to arrange a free alternative place to go (albeit on a smaller scale) for those who have already committed financially to coming to the area. We have been working hard and we believe that we will be able to publish a rough schedule of events later today. We have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction we’ve had from the public, the bands and the local community alike, thank you all for getting behind us. Kettering is a small town and whilst we’ve secured the biggest venues we could (or should I say biggest pubs!), their capacities are comparatively small to those which may be found in a larger city. We feel it’s only fair to manage expectations and so due to these limited capacities, if there is a band you’d particularly like to see, please ensure you get your spot well in advance to avoid any disappointment! We’re hoping though, that the breadth of the three venues involved, will provide you all with the entertainment you deserve should one venue be full. We looking forward to welcoming you.
^^^ MAKE SURE YOU’VE READ THAT… IT’S REALLY RATHER IMPORTANT.
MORE SCRIBBLINGS … MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY EVERYTHING. CIRCUMSTANCES MAY CHANGE RAPIDLY AND WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE:
Camping still available at Wicksteed Park, at reasonable rates.
and MORE SCRIBBLINGS (Again, make sure you verify/confirm directly from the resource being provided. You may also pose questions on the official event page where a plethora of ‘those in the know’ … know.)
Want to come to Ctrl-Alt-Fest-Delete, and looking for accommodation smack bang in the centre of Kettering??

Hoodoo Gurus (referred to as the Gurus by fans) are an Australian rock band, formed in Sydney in 1981, by the mainstay Dave Faulkner (songwriter, lead singer and guitarist) and later joined by Richard Grossman (bass), Mark Kingsmill (drums), and Brad Shepherd (guitar, vocals, harmonica). Their popularity peaked in the mid to late 1980s with albums Mars Needs […]
Οι VENUS VOLCANISM & IN ATLAS, σε συνεχή άνοδο, παρουσιάζουν ένα καινούριο τραγούδι σήμερα.Το ''Psychopath'' κινείται στο γνωστό σκοτεινό synth pop κλίμα του διδύμου αλλά με τονισμένο το pop στοιχείο, παρ' όλο τον τίτλο και τους στίχους. Είναι σύντομο περιεκτικό και αυτό που μπορεί να τους δώσει αρκετούς πόντους δημοσιότητας ακόμ […]
Η σημερινή ανάρτηση αφορά το LP "Makeshift Home Music", δεύτερο άλμπουμ των Poppi UK, που κυκλοφόρησε από την δισκογραφική Schemer το 1989 και απ' όσο γνωρίζουμε δεν έχει ανέβει σε blog ποτέ πριν. Προς υπενθύμισή σας, οι Poppi UK ήταν ένα συγκρότημα από την πόλη Nijmegen της Ολλανδίας και παλιότερα το 2010 είχαμε κάνει ανάρτηση για τον εξαιρετ […]
The interview below may be a case of confirmation bias on my part, but I will admit to considering that this guy makes a great deal of sense.As a parent I do ask myself if I raised my children to have unrealistic expectations of life.The answer to that is that I have.In saying that they can be anything, and they can do anything that they want, I was telling […]
