More Artists Confirmed For End Of The Road Festival

• 17th Mar 2008

A load of new artists have been announced for the End of the Road Festival 2008, taking place from 12 – 14 September at Larmer Tree Gardens in Dorset:

Low, Dirty Three, British Sea Power, American Music Club, Billy Childish, Akron/Family, Kimya Dawson, Darren Hayman (Darren and Jack Play Hefner Songs), FM Belfast, Laura Marling, Devon Sproule, Angelo Spencer and Kelley Stoltz.

They join an already stellar lineup at the relatively intimate (5000 capacity) event, which won Best New Festival at the Festival Awards 2006 and was last year, for many of those who attended, the highlight of the festival calendar.

Bands also confirmed so far are: Mercury Rev, Two Gallants, Micah P Hinson, Mountain Goats, Sun Kil Moon / Mark Kozelek, Jeffrey Lewis, Jason Molina, A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Bob Log III, The Wave Pictures, Woodpigeon, Friska Viljor

Taking place in North Dorset’s Larmer Tree Gardens, the team is looking to evolve what Ben Secher of the Daily Telegraph, reviewing 2007’s festival, called “a bucolic pop paradise where peacocks strutted across the lawns, parrots swayed in the trees and satisfied fans ambled from stage to stage” and the Independent’s Nick Hasted simply described as “the best of the lot”.
