What’s your favourite festival?
Glastonbury, perhaps? Standard. Reading and/or Leeds? Can’t fault you for that. Download, you say? A fine and noble choice.
Frankly, we don’t mind which festival is your pick of the bunch. Heck, even if you said Let’s Rock, we’d probably still respect your choice.
Our favourite festival, though? Well, that’s Barn On The Farm.
If you ask us, it’s the perfect mix of intimate gathering and big-time music festival.
Superstar headliners? Check. This year boasted the likes of Dermot Kennedy, Maggie Rogers, Lewis Capaldi, and The Vaccines, and included a surprise set from George bleedin’ Ezra.
A flurry of soon-to-be superstars? Well, check. Previous line-ups have boasted the likes of Bastille, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, James Bay, and the aforementioned mssrs. Kennedy, Capaldi, and Ezra – oh, and all before they’d scored their first hits. That, dear reader, is not bad going.
Do you know why we really love Barn on the Farm, though?
The reason we genuinely think it’s something special is because of the atmosphere it cultivates. Every artist who plays can’t wait to come back; every punter who goes inevitably goes again.
A lot of festivals have jaw-dropping line-ups and stellar locations; it takes somewhere special to create a festival that feels like a second time. But, do you know what’s even nicer? That they’re just about to unveil their 2019 after-movie, but they’re letting us share it with you lovely lot an hour before it’s even released.
What a bunch of legends.
So, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and heck out the official film of Barn on the Farm Festival 2019:
