Mayhem at the farm is just around the corner

If you go down to the farm this summer you’re bound to bump into some bloody good music…

The line-up for this year’s Festival on the Farm is looking pretty damn good so far.

And we’ll be there with bells on (cowbells obvs).

The festival, which takes place at Purton Organics from Friday August 3 to Sunday August 5, also includes loads for the family to do from face painting and a fun fair to loads of delicious food. Under 12s go free which is a total bargain.

On the Friday they’ve got the ever brilliant Penfold and Hooch doing their thing as well as brilliant bands The Dirty Smooth and Raze*Rebuild (the band that is known for making things difficult for us journalists by having a ‘*’ in their name). Headlining the opening night will be Binomial with a bit of electronica goodness from Kraftwerk to the Pet Shop Boys.

Then on the Saturday they have our favourite and most original Swindon band of the moment Sexjazz as well as The Rotten Aces, The Blind Lemon Blues Band, Magician’s Nephew and headlining the evening will be The Go Go Five - an explosive mix of motown, 60’s soul, jazz, rock and blues.

On the Sunday, if you have survived the mayhem of Saturday (and after watching Sexjazz you might be mayhemed out), there’s Marc as Robbie Williams and Vice Versa closing down what looks set to be the best Festival on the Farm ever.
