Following his dancefloor focused new album ‘Honey’, electronic producer Caribou comes to End Of The Road for what is sure to be a euphoric night on The Woods stage 15 years after his first appearance in the Big Top. A huge star successfully moving between pop and indie, Self Esteem’s anthems will provide the life-affirming singalong moments of the festival. Having recently released his new album ‘Mahashmashama’ - a collection of apocalyptic rockers - the chicest man in music, Father John Misty, returns to Larmer Tree Gardens following his “show-stealing” (The Guardian) appearance at the festival in 2017. Enigmatic singer, songwriter and actor Sharon Van Etten will headline the Thursday night, alongside her new band The Attachment Theory - who have just announced their self-titled debut album, which is out in the new year.
Also in this initial announcement are electronic shoegazers Mount Kimbie, chamber rock darlings Black Country, New Road will display their incredible musicianship with vocal duties now shared three ways, whilst experimental fusion rock group GOAT serve up their melting pot of music from around the world.
The best new guitar music is always on display at End Of The Road with former black midi frontman Geordie Greep and Aussie punks Tropical Fuck Storm leading the way, whilst the old heads of Throwing Muses bring their experience and enviable back catalogue to proceedings.
Leftfield electronic pop fans are already going to be in for a treat with the announcement of John Maus and These New Puritans whilst Joy Orbison will offer something a bit more direct and heavy to lead you onto the late-night dance floor.
South African Future Funk trailblazer Moonchild Sanelly is set to get feet moving, having recently collaborated with Self Esteem on single ‘Big Man’. The rich and mellow tones of American musician Rosali will offer a serene moment, whilst the insatiable beats from Colombian electronic artist Ela Minus are sure to fill the dancefloor.
Folk music has always been an important part of the full End Of The Road experience, and with Lisa O’Neill’s announcement, this is set to continue. Emma-Jean Thackray has become one of the leading lights in the UK jazz scene with her crossover-friendly take on spiritual jazz. The beloved eclecticism of End of The Road is perhaps no better demonstrated than with Syrian bouzouki player Mohammad Syfkhan.
Many more names will be added in the coming months, as End Of The Road continues to be the destination for musical discovery and exploration. Throw into the mix a superbly curated comedy and literature lineup, the best independent food and drink vendors and the stunning Victorian pleasure grounds Larmer Tree Gardens, (where it all takes place), and it’s no wonder why End Of The Road is consistently called the best festival in the UK.
