Vince is delighted to announce that this year Hop Farm Festival will go ahead on the 4^th & 5^th of July, especially as licensing issues had held up this year’s event unnecessarily.  This year will be a two-day festival, with camping, set in the grounds of the picturesque Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent.

The Hop Farm Festival returns as a truly unique experience, exclusively themed as an event totally free of ticket registration, with No VIP areas, No Branding or Sponsorship.  This year the festival offers a weekend experience of boutique camping, top-notch food and traditional ales, with some of the best artists playing over 3 stages.  It is a festival for festival- goers, returning live music to its roots, where music lovers turn up and enjoy the same experience as every other ticket holder.  Weekend tickets are £125.00 inc camping and parking and with day tickets at £65.00, its one of the cheapest festival tickets available.

Vince Power said: “After some delay due to our licensing issues, we have managed to get a great line up off the ground in time for 2009, with an expected audience of 20,000.  I’m very pleased with the bands, over 70 across the weekend, and £125 for a weekend ticket inc camping and car parking, making this the best value festival ticket this year.  I’m looking forward to the weekend in July”

This year’s festival will define itself as an ‘un-missible event’ on the summer calendar.  With several stages playing host to some of the greatest acts playing live at the moment as well as some the best talent coming up the ranks.  The Hop Farm Festival will offer something for everyone including 5-a-side celebrity football, fun fare and campsite entertainment.

With Red List LIVE postponed until next year, the Hop Farm is looking very appealing, and with such a fantastic line-up is sure to be one of the biggest events of the summer.
