Eagles to headline Hop Farm 2011!

In their only UK show of 2011, the mighty Eagles are the first headliner to be announced by Vince Power’s Hop Farm Music Festival.

Other acts already announced for the Eagles day include: Bryan Ferry, Brandon Flowers, Death Cab For Cutie and 10cc, with many more to follow.

The two-day festival will take place on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd July in Paddock Wood, Kent. Maintaining its ‘No sponsorship, no branding’ethos, the Hop Farm will be sticking to the winning formula of programming legendary acts with contemporary acts, making it the ‘must go to’ festival.

The second headliner and other stages will be announced later on this week.

The Hop Farm Music Festival, whose past artists have included Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Paul Weller, Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons and loads more, is a totally independent festival with a policy of no sponsorship, no branding and no added VIP areas so that all festival goers enjoy the same experience, great bands and a great time!

Festival boss Vince Power said: “Really happy to start to announce the Hop Farm’s line up, now in its 4th year.  After last year’s success with Bob Dylan and Mumford and Sons to name but a few of the huge acts, it’s my opinion that the Hop Farm is well and truly on the UK festival map and will go from strength to strength as one of the few independent festivals left in the country.”

The festival has four music stages and includes comedy and campsite stages.

Tickets are now on sale. Weekend tickets are priced at: £130 and Day tickets at £70. Camping is £30 for the weekend or £25 per day. Children under 12 go in for free.
