Jeremy Clarkson Confirms Full Line-Up for Warwickshire Farm Festival as Final Details Are Revealed
The TV star spearheads an all star line up consisting of some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry
The full line up of Jeremy Clarkson’s Warwickshire farm festival has been revealed. The Great British Farm-Fest consists of three nights of non-stop entertainment as Clarkson and pals are joined by a host of music icons.
Opening for its inaugural year at Stoneleigh Park, just outside Coventry, the festival will see the nation’s favourite farmers, including Clarkson’s Farm stars Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan and Charlie Ireland swap the fields for the main stage.
Taking place 22 May to the 24 May, the Hawkstone Music Arena, named for the famous Clarkson beer, will play host to stars such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Groove Armada, Blur’s Alex James, Sara Cox and Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson.
The festival kicks off with the Young Farmer DJ Battle, hosted by Capital Radio’s Chris Stark, where the UK’s top agricultural deck-spinners will compete for glory. The Hot House Flowers and the rock-and-roll energy of Rick Parfitt Jnr will follow, before the night reaches a fever pitch with the legendary Groove Armada (DJ Set). Closing the first night in style, the ‘Queen of the Kitchen Disco’ herself, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, will bring her shimmering pop anthems to the heart of the countryside.
Saturday: The All Star Farm Party
Saturday shifts gears into a feel-good celebration of British music. The country vibes come courtesy of the record-breaking duo The Shires. The arena will also turn into a giant sing along session with two high-energy DJ sets. Sara Cox will present her Power Wower set of festival bangers while Chris Moyles delivers his signature high-energy 90s DJ set.
The nostalgic atmosphere continues with the definitive tribute act Noasis, before Massaoke, takes the stage with a setlist of singalong hits.
Sunday: Non-Stop British Classics
The festiva will close on the final day with a tribute to British music history. Festivalgoers can expect a trip down memory lane with the timeless hits of 10cc and the soulful country sounds of One Night in Nashville before the weekend reaches its grand finale with two massive performances.
The event marks the inaugural public performance of Ricky Wilson Presents the Fabulous Adjustable Band. Led by the Kaiser Chiefs frontman, the supergroup will feature a revolving door of high-profile musicians. Finally, Blur’s Alex James’ Britpop Classical will close the festival with a reimagination of the greatest hits of the 90s.
Festival Director, Chris Hughes said: “We want to showcase the incredible talent of the British farming industry in a way that’s never been done before. By pairing legendary farmers and TV favourites with world-class DJs and rock stars, we are delivering three days of unforgettable parties that put the heart of the countryside centre stage.”
