My Bloody Valentine and Rodriguez are confirmed as headliners for this year's Hop Farm Festival, topping a long list of names announced for the July weekender.
The festival’s determined promoter Vince Power has been forced to make a number of changes for 2013's festival, in order for the event to continue. Speaking about the line-up, Power says: “I am pleased to announce the sixth Hop Farm line up this year, which includes headliners My Bloody Valentine, exclusive to the Hop Farm Festival, off the back of their much awaited new album. Plus I’m excited to add international folk legend Rodriguez to the bill this year. Searching for Sugar Man, has just won an Academy Award and a BAFTA, so this is a very special year to welcome him to the Hop Farm.
“Last year has been tough for me, as it has been across the board for the festival market. I wanted to keep the festival going, but I’ve had to make changes for it to continue.”
The Kent festival, which takes place on July 5th and July 6th this year with a 10,000 capacity, will again feature its three stages – Main Stage, The Wild Wood and Oast House stages as well as the The Shindig stage over in the Campsite. Buskers Boulevard returns as well as additions to the festival, The Campsite Choir, Marching Bands, Fun Fair and Children’s Area.
