Earlier this year I learned about the End of the Road Festival in England. Since we’ve done All Tomorrow’s Parties EOTR is now at the top of the list for festivals I wanna give away ice cream at most in the UK. It takes place at the Larmer Tree Gardens in North Dorset and runs from September 12th – 14th.
As far as I can tell, EOTR festival is utopia for the festival fan. The artists that play are all quality and you won’t find the new “it” or hyped band there. The band sets are longer than normal, the beer and food are top notch, and the music goes on into the weee hours. It’s a very intimate, friendly, and relaxed festival where you have a better chance of running into a peacock than a wookie.
Can you imagine how awesome the addition of free ice cream would be? Maybe Petra and her Choc Star truck will be there selling her chocolaty treats.
If you need more reason to go hang out in a garden, here’s a few. Calexico, Bon Iver, Tindersticks, Conor Oberst, Dirty Three, Low, American Music Club, The Mountain Goats, Two Gallants, and dozens more. Check out www.endoftheroadfestival.com to learn more.
