The festival, which was headlined in 2014 by Dizzee Rascal, De La Soul, Razorlight and Pendulum (dj), is held each year on the Brown family’s farm in Essex. It was due to fall very late next year. Following feedback from customers the team have taken the decision to move much earlier and kickstart the summer for its festival goers. Anyone who had already bought a ticket for 2015 has been offered an exchange to the new date or a full refund.

A spokesperson from Brownstock Festival said “It has been brilliant to see how excited our festival goers have been that they don’t have to wait a whole year for the festivities to begin!”
