“Black Nielson Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez Editors Fonda 500 Goldrush Hondo Maclean Jetplane Landing Jim Moray Neil Halstead Patrick Wolf Piney Gir The Schla La Las The Magic Numbers Towers Of London Trademark yourcodenameis: milo”
Tickets are priced at £27.50, subject to booking fee. Subject to availability, tickets will increase in price from June 1st to £37.50. Available online from wegottickets.com
There ain't quite a festival like it. Only in the heartland of Oxfordshire in the English summer could something like this happen, every year. It's like Glastonbury probably used to be but with a truck parked in the middle of a field and a barn stage, which is in fact a barn. If you've not been before, perhaps some seasoned festival goers can comment below in no less than 50 words why you should go...
