The
programme is now complete for this year’s Larmer Tree, from
Wednesday 11th to Sunday 15th July, with
more than 80 bands booked to play the Festival’s five stages, plus
street theatre, workshops and much more.
The
music programme is more diverse and dazzling than ever, with big
name acts sitting comfortably beside up-and-coming bands that
have a habit of going on to great things!
Highlights are many including a particularly strong
line-up for this year’s Thursday night featuring
Courtney Pine,
Billy Bragg,
Balkan Beat Box,
12 Stone Toddler as
well as
the last minute acquisition of Latin-funksters
Ozomatli who put on a
not-to-missed live show.
Other
headliners throughout the weekend include
Jools Holland and his Rhythm &
Blues Orchestra with
Lulu and
Ruby Turner plus
Show of Hands on Wednesday and the
Easy Star All-Stars,
Baka Beyond and
Seasick Steve on
Sunday, plus many more acts.
Just a handful of much sought after tickets remain for
these days, but Festival-goers need to act fast if they don’t want
to miss out.
As
well as an impressive music programme, Larmer Tree is famed for
its workshops; from dance and didgeridoo to singing and the
Laughter Gym, there are over 100 for adults and children to chose
from. And to make you giggle throughout the Festival, this year
there is more street theatre than ever.
Seminal film director Ken Russell will also be talking to film
critic Mark Kermode about Music and Movies. A local, and seasoned
fan of the location, Ken has used the stunning Larmer Tree Gardens
in a number of his projects over the years.
All
this plus food and drink from around the world, award-winning
toilets, free camping and hot showers!
