Neil Young to headline new Kent festival

| 18 March 2008

Neil Young has been announced as the headliner for a new festival in Kent called A Hop Day At The Farm.

The one-day event will be held near Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, on Saturday, 6 July. Tickets are on sale HERE for £49.50.

It is being organised by former Mean Fiddler boss Vince Power, who is making his first return as a UK promoter since selling his share of the company for more than £10 million in 2005.

As part of the terms of the sale he was not allowed to be involved in the UK live music industry for three years.

He has since bought a share in Benicassim in Spain and now perhaps signalled his intent with the brand new A Hop Day At The Farm.

One of his previous one-day incarnations as Mean Fiddler boss, Fllam festival in London's Finsbury Park, also had Neil Young as headliner in 2001.

Additional acts for the festival are expected to be confirmed shortly.
