Everything Everything are the latest act joining The Streets, Ellie Goulding and Echo & The Bunnymen at Lounge on the Farm
Fresh from the announcement that the Mancunian four piece Everything Everything have been nominated for two Ivor Novello Awards, Lounge on the Farm is delighted to confirm that they will be joining their increasingly impressive line up. Everything Everything have been going from strength to strength since their appearance on BBC’s Sound of 2010 Sound Poll, and after releasing their debut album ‘Man Alive’ to critical acclaim last summer, they’ve been shortlisted for the NME’s Best New Band, Xfm’s Best New Music and Guardian’s First Album awards. The quartet also won the Times Breakthrough prize at the Southbank Arts Awards in January.
As previously announced - The Streets, Ellie Goulding and Echo & The Bunnymen are confirmed as main headliners for the July festival. Katy B, Graham Coxon, The Joy Formidable, Johnny Flynn and Cornershop will all be joining them.
The festival is also pouring energy into its newest stage addition the Meadows Stage. Joined by the Furthur team, whose visual stylings are notoriously unique and fresh, this collaboration sees a true union of creative forces and is bound to sum up contemporary Canterbury in a whirlwind of fun and frolics amongst the maize.
One of the most successful Canterbury bands, prog rock legends Caravan have also been confirmed for the festival, with the re-release of the seminal album In the Land of Grey and Pink due this summer, they will play the new Meadows stage.
Having carved itself out a niche as a festival known for its unique location on a real life, working farm (with real animals roaming about), plus a strong focus on delicious food, family friendly atmosphere and reputable line-up, Lounge on the Farm Festival will double its capacity in 2011 to 10,000 people and also cement itself as one of the key boutique UK festivals for the summer. At just 55 mins on a train from Kings Cross, this is an easy festival to get to for Londoners and is fast securing the hottest line up of the summer.
