Honestly, putting any kind of festival on as we emerge from the pandemic must be all kind of stressful. Big up End of the Road then for making their September edition happen at all.

Owing to travel restrictions and the logistical challenges of getting some artists and crew down to Dorset they moved early to reconfigure their line-up. Sleaford Mods, Stereolab and Hot Chip were among the changes announced in May. With a month to go they’ve had to make a few more. The festival are more than making up for it though as Damon Albarn has joined the bill. So too have Crack Cloud, Sipho, Balimaya Project, Loraine James, Anna B Savage, Wesley Gonzalez, BABii and many more.

Unfortunately some performers have pulled out, including Whitney, Songhoy Blues and Tune-Yards. Full details are on End of the Road’s website. The new line-up is below.
