Steve Hackett (pictured), Clannad, and Turin Brakes are among the names announced for Fairport's Cropredy Convention.
The festival will return for its 41st year in August, on the usual farmland site in North Oxfordshire. Alongside a range of artists, it'll also feature two sets by hosts Fairport Covention, opening the festival on Thursday with an acoustic performance and closing it with a customary headline show on Saturday, containing a 50th anniversary set celebrating their 1970 LP 'Full House'. Bassist Dave Pegg said:
"We're really pleased with this year's line-up. It consolidates Cropredy's core appeal, celebrates Fairport’s rich heritage and also introduces a wide and diverse range of music. It'll be a particular pleasure to have Richard Thompson playing with us again during our three-hour headline set on the Saturday evening."
