Secret Furry Animals Lounge on the Farm

'Boutique festival'...is that a term in common parlance? Why, I wasn't aware such a term existed! How marvellous.
"Legendary rock stars Super Furry Animals have announced they are playing a headline slot at this summer's most exclusive boutique festival..."
There's more than one!
"...Lounge On the Farm to an intimate crowd of 2000, their smallest gig in 5 years."
That sounds alright, dunnit? Apparently The Bees have just been confirmed too. The Welsh 'rock stars' were formerly the festival's secret headliners. Now it's about as secret as a secret gig, because DiS has told y'all! Fancy.

There are a tonne more bands, but they're names are formatted differently here, so I take it those above are the 'main' acts.
Lounge on the Farm takes place over three days in the hills of Canterbury; from 13-15th of July. That's next weekend, so hurry up if you want tickets - get them here; £45 if you're an adult looking to spend the weekend, £20 the day; kids go half price. Family tickets are also available, click the link for details.

I was
very tempted. Sadly it's just not worth it for SFA alone
exactly
Canterbury is a lovely place though.
I'm going to see The Bees
Bugger SFA
it doesn't surprise me
they played The Bees on Sarah Kennedy this morning
Instead..
come to Wye Fayre (www.wyefayre.co.uk) - it has none of those bands nor is it in Canterbury but it is a music festival and this weekend.
God i'm good at plugging.
The Bees
Are brill
So is
Sarah Kennedy
sounds great for the children
but I don't know any of these bands
exactly.
i know it was packed, but there definitely wasn't more than 2,000 people there.
And the ICA
a couple of weeks back. That has a max capacity of 350.
The damn fool
Im assuming from your comment that you prefer the bees to SFA...if that is the case I can only assume three things: A) You have never heard the bees B) You have never heard SFA C) You have never heard of neither the bees of SFA
Welcome to DIS
...where people harp on about mediocre 6th form pub bands like they're the next Floyd
Really don't know why I still read this site
Secret?
Saw a poster up today on a nearby fence with SFA on it advertising the festival.
the Bees
are the worst kind of dull, pointless, noodly sub-hippy uber-toss that monwey can buy
on
toast
