Ghostpoet and Art Brut head up first wave of Farmfestival acts!
That’s right, the cooler than a cucumber wordsmith Ghostpoet will be performing at this year’s Farmfestival. Accompanied by his live band you can expect material from his forthcoming album along with all the best bits from his acclaimed debut Peanutbutter Blues and Melancholy Jam.
Check out the first track from his new album released last week:

Also Farmfestival welcome the wonderful story telling rock legends, Art Brut this year.
It is exactly ten, sweet long years ago that Art Brut first sat down in a room together to raise the musical bar. Ten years of heartache, ten years of beauty, ten years of booze related injuries.
Farmfestival have it on good authority that Monsieur Eddie Argos and gang will be back in May with a ‘Best Of’ rammed full of everything from desserts to weekends… one of the best live acts in the UK, this is not to be missed!
Other acts confirmed for Farmfestival 2013 include The Skints, DJ Die, Reeps One, Son of Dave, Typesun, Mt Wolf, Nimmo & The Gauntletts, DJ Woody, Leftside Wobble, Laidblak and The Fire Beneath the Sea.
Adult weekend tickets for Friday 26th & Saturday 27th July are priced at a double dip recession busting 50 English pounds, including free camping and parking. With profits donated to charities Practical Action, Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance and The British Stammering Association, you can’t say fairer than that.
Oh, and don’t forget to wear a hat, it’s compulsory (and the best hats gets free tickets to next year’s festival!).
In 2006, a small group of friends native to Somerset made the decision to host an intimate, cost-effective festival for their friends as an alternative to the events dominating the English summer. Farmfestival’s subsequent success has seen attendances grow organically through word of mouth, from an initial 400 to its capped 4500 capacity.
Year after year, loyal followers and newbies alike make their way down to its countryside home at Gilcombe Farm, Bruton, for the promise of wallet-friendly good times and acts on the cusp of stardom, acts such as Friendly Fires, Egyptian Hip Hop, Submotion Orchestra and Man Like Me, all of whom have played previously.
The festival remains adamantly sponsor-free, the lo-fi DIY aesthetic combining with the genre busting music policy to create the unique atmosphere. Previously quoted as one of the UK’s best kept festival secrets (Dj Vadim / Venue Mag), the cat is slowly being let out of the bag.
The festival celebrates its surroundings with the best local fare and organic Somerset ciders and ales. Families and kids are well catered for with their own camping space and plenty of activities to keep the little ones busy, including: Punch and Judy, magic shows, assault course, bouncy castle, crazy golf and the ever popular arts and crafts tent. And after the success of last year’s inaugural Farmfestival Olympics, children both young and old can expect plenty more surprises to keep them entertained throughout the weekend.
