GUIDE

BARN ON THE FARM

THURS 4 - SUN 7 JULY // GLOUCESTER

An independent festival focussing on finding diamonds in the rough, Barn on the Farm has already hosted stars like
Ed Sheeran, Bastille, Catfish and the Bottlemen, James Bay and George Ezra. 2019’s names include Sam Fender,
Lewis Capaldi, Maggie Rogers, Jade Bird, Grace Carter, Samm Henshaw, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Maverick
Sabre, Zak Abel, Swim Deep, Gabrielle Aplin, Nina Nesbitt, The Japanese House and Youngr. It has a strong
emphasis on intimacy, breaking the boundaries between audience and artist, whilst bringing together impeccable
line-ups.

This year, the award-winning Barn on the Farm also celebrates its 10th anniversary. An down-to-earth gathering

of like-minded music lovers, it’s a great place to hook up with old friends, party with new ones and check out an

impressive range of artists. This year, the new music credentials are bolstered by partnering with BIMM Music

College to create a stage of fantastic breaking-through artists. Small but perfectly formed, Barn on the Farm is

spread over three stages (The Wooden Barn, Outside and Main), only a hop, skip and hoedown apart. It started with

a barn, a couple of bands, a few pints and very high expectations. A decade on and it’s celebrating with some very

special friends this summer.
