Woolfstock may just sneak it as the musical highlight of the British summer. Kicking off at noon on Saturday 3rd September, this ‘small festival with a big sound’ contains all the essential ingredients for a top musical gathering in Britain’s great outdoors.
With an intimate 2,000 capacity, this 24 hour event will feel more like stepping in to your very own private festival. “It’s the perfect antidote to a glut of large, impersonal corporate sponsored festivals, Woolfstock boasts a killer musical line-up headlined by critically acclaimed indie rockers British Sea Power, a stunning festival site and the finest festival fodder and antics on offer.” Says Festival Director Jeremy Woolfenden.
Now in its second year, Woolfstock’s eclectic line-up is one that major event programmers would be proud of. Alongside BSP, on a stage that comes straight out of Reading Festival, will be pop folk sensation 6 Day Riot, Scotland’s finest The Draymin, masters of the mash-up The Kleptones, the melodic Paris Riots, and Tom Jones’ backing singer Elsie with her blend of Blondie-esque pop. This is also likely to be Pegasus Bridge’s penultimate gig.
