This is it! We are thrilled to announce our first wave of live music, DJs and late-night Cowshed takeovers for Standon Calling 2016.

We are honoured to present the legendary Suede, set to deliver a headline performance of career spanning classics and tracks from their recent critically acclaimed album Night Thoughts. Also heading up the bill are the Grammy and Brit award-winning vocals of Jess Glynne.

Renowned for her incredible live performances, the multi-talented musician Kelis will be bringing all the boys (and girls) to the yard. The Hives, with their first new material since 2012, and the Mercury Prize nominated Everything Everything will help to get the party started with their genre defying musical prowess.

Flying the flag for electronic music is house pioneer and legendary DJ Theo Parrish. GOLDIE who was recently awarded an MBE for his contribution to UK music also joins the fray along with Gold Panda and Luke Abbott.
