NEW additions to the line-up have been announced for the End of the Road festival

The festival, at Larmer Tree Gardens near Salisbury from September 1 to 4, will feature The Shins playing their first UK show in more than four years and their only UK festival.

Further additions to the line up include Faris Badwan and Rachel Zeffira’s orchestral pop side project Cat’s Eyes, whose anticipated new album is due next month.

More new talent has also been added in the shape of Virginia based singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus whose debut album No Burden is already one of the year’s most acclaimed, as well as some-time Angel Olsen backing band members LionLimb with their baroque pop ballads.

Also added are BC Camplight, The Blind Shake, Lucy Dacus, Futur Primitif, Feels, Julia Jacklin, LionLimb, Pinegrove, FEWS, Baywaves and The Leaf Library.

Playing her only UK festival since the release of Divers, one of the albums of 2015, the dazzlingly talented Joanna Newsom will headline End of The Road with her harp-led sonic odyssey.

Joining Joanna as headliner and making their first ever appearance at End of The Road will be the technicolour, genre-hopping, experimental vocal harmonizing one offs Animal Collective. We are also delighted to welcome Bat for Lashes to End of The Road for the first time, who has long been on the festival wish list with her unique brand of otherworldly pop.

We are also thrilled with this year’s Comedy Stage line up announced last week, where joining Stewart Lee will be Bridget Christie, Josie Long, Knightmare Live and Andy Zaltzman performing his Political Animal show.

Other highlights include the legendary comedian and Comedy Club host Arthur Smith, along with comedy writer turned celebrity Masterchef Hardeep Singh Kohli, hugely respected and wildly popular Adam Bloom as well as Benedict Cumberbatch’s pal John Finnemore making his debut at the festival.
