Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Suede To Headline Hop Farm Festival 2012

Hop Farm Festival has announced details of its fifth year, with Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel and the New Blood Orchestra and Suede each performing UK exclusive sets for the Kent crowd.

The festival takes place from 29th June to 1st July in Paddock Wood, Kent. It looks set to continue its ‘No sponsorship, no branding’ ethos. It prides itself on offering good value for festival-goers and the no booking fee, no camping fee and nocharge for children under 12 policies certainly back this up.

Head of festival Vince Power said: “I am really happy to announce the line-up for Hop Farm 2012. After last years success it’s my opinion that Hop Farm is now well and truly on the UK festival map. Furthermore we have tried to make it the best value festival ticket by having no hidden charges or added extras.”
