Set in the heart of the picturesque Cotswolds and uniquely powered by solar energy, Tadstock will take place on Saturday August 29.
  Headlining this year’s festivities on the main “Earth Stage” - (built out of the materials its name suggests) are critically acclaimed, British folk-rock band Dry The River.  Having spent the year touring across America they will be performing songs from their debut and latest album “Alarms In The Heart”.
The band will be supported by a strong local line-up, with Ukey Dukes, King Soloman and Julia Harris, Awfully Nice, Grand Wa Zoo and Gigi St Philips all confirmed to play.
When the live music stops, the after hours party and fun begins with various DJ’s turning sets in the woods.
Away from the main-stage, Tadstockers will have the chance to sample locally sourced food and produce, with ‘Shabbanackle’ and ‘Ciderwagon’ on hand to keep the hunger and thirst at bay.
Children’s entertainment comes courtesy of Junkfish and the grounds will play host to various forms of alternative entertainment including music production workshops, yoga, break dancing and graffiti.
What’s more, the whole festival is powered by renewable energy!
Born in 2005 as a space for local family and friends to commune, Tadstock has quietly grown to embrace a wider community of creative people who gather to share a love for great music, art and entertainment.
Since partnering with Cheltenham based charity, CCP, who exist to improve the lives of children, young people, families and vulnerable adults; and their music driven initiative, Studio340, Tadstock plays an important part in the transformation of young lives from within the local and surrounding area. Whilst the festival welcomes friends, families and music lovers from all walks of life, Tadstock gives young people supported by CCP the opportunity to showcase their musical talent and expand their knowledge and experience in a safe, inspirational and encouraging environment.
Free car parking and camping with shower facilities are offered across the weekend to all ticket holders and with stunning views of the Oxfordshire countryside on your tent step, there is no doubt you’ll be coming back, next year.
A pre-launch event and BBQ will be held at The Frog and Fiddle in Cheltenham on Sunday August 9.
