PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES announced as the headline band for Friday18th September 2015 at Undercover Festival III.

Peter and the Test Tube Babies formed in the small town of Peacehaven (Near Brighton), in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part of the Punk Pathetique subgenre. Peter and the Test Tube Babies were first featured in Sounds magazine in July 1980, and after a John Peel Radio One session, made their vinyl debut on the Brighton compilation album Vaultage 78.

Fast forward to 2015 and they are still playing live and as popular on the scene as ever.

Current Line Up
•           Vocals — Peter Bywaters
•           Guitar — Del "Strangefish" Greening
•           Bass Guitar — Paul 'H' Henrickson
•           Drums — Dave O'Brien

Not resting we have hit the ground running for 2015, we are pleased with PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES along with Saturdays headline act THE DAMNED,  for Sunday we have the UK SUBS and PENETRATION as joint headliners.

With the change to Fridays Headline Act and a few tweaks the line all bar the shouting is now complete (see Editors notes).

Early bird tickets have flown out since we announced The Damned and are now sold out.
Ticket sales compared to last year are considerably up on last year.

Weekend tickets are now £75 in advance for 56 bands which we still feel is pretty good value.

UNDERCOVER FESTIVAL set in and around the unique setting of Bisley Pavilion, Bisley Camp nr Woking Surrey, a festival venue and experience that defies all other conventions and festival templates.

UNDERCOVER FESTIVAL 3 DAY PACKED MULTI GENRE FESTIVAL OF Punk / Ska / Dub / Reggae / Post Punk
+ so much more!!!

The thing about this festival more than any other in our opinion is a melting pot of the genres, crew, the bands, the venue but last and not least the varied / fun nature of those there that made this a festival that we firmly believe no other promoter will be able to re-create.

For 2015 we are sticking with the 2 stages as the synergy between both stages was excellent.

Please note: For the avoidance of any doubt The Undercover Festival is not an open air festival - the festival will be held in 2 rooms plus other areas at the Bisley Pavilion nr Woking Surrey – undercover by nature of the music policy of this festival and undercover - well because it is....
