Artrocker Magazine have unveiled the final list of live acts who will be gracing the stage on December 7th at the Sebright Arms in London for the Artrocker 2012 Live Event, before the Artrocker Awards Ceremony takes place on the same night!
Tall Ships and Public Service Broadcasting will join forces with the incredible Dark Horses for the live event which will run from 5pm until midnight with free admission to the general public with a strict FIRST COME FIRST SERVED policy.
This year the guys over at Artrocker Magazine opened the voting to the public to give them a chance to vote for their preferred nominees in each of the categories, with voting polls closing yesterday (December 1st)!
“The second annual Artrocker Awards will follow on from where the last one finished at the bar. The Artrocker Awards are about the music, the bands and giving the industry and the public a great event with a line-up that will recall the heady days of The Brats and inject some much needed drunken fun and rock’n’roll back into the industry. It’s Rock’n’Roll in its simplest and rawest form.” states the magazines editor Marc Sallis.
