HOTLY tipped folk/punk artist Frank Turner, pictured, and French ska outfit Babylon Circus are the final show-stopping acts to be added to the 20th anniversary Larmer Tree Festival line-up.
After touring relentlessly around the globe, Frank Turner will be making a stop at the Victorian Larmer Tree Gardens on July 15. Known for his witty, observational and often heartfelt lyrics, Frank will make a very special appearance before Robert Cray on the festival’s main stage.
After supporting the likes of Biffy Clyro, The Offspring and The Gaslight Anthem, Frank embarked upon his own sold-out tour of the UK. He is showing no signs of slowing down and will this year be taking his passionate live show across the world, with dates confirmed as far away as Australia, America, China and Hong Kong.
French ten-piece Babylon Circus have also just been confirmed to perform at this year’s Larmer Tree Festival, bringing the main stage to a close on July 17. Musical menagerie Babylon Circus bring their infectious fusion of ska, reggae, punk, jazz and swing to the festival.
Situated on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, Larmer Tree Festival is a haven of music and culture, set in the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens.
Previously announced headline acts for this year’s celebration include Toots and the Maytals, Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra with special guest Alison Moyet, Martha Wainwright, Robert Cray, Toumani Diabaté and Newton Faulkner.
In addition to the stellar line-up of musical talent, Larmer Tree Festival also hosts an intimate comedy club, which will this year feature the likes of Russell Howard, Rich Hall and David O’Doherty.
Larmer Tree Festival runs from July 14 to 18. Tickets and details from larmertreefestival.co.uk.
