Hop Music chief Vince Power said: “I am really happy to announce the line-up for Hop Farm 2012. After last year’s success it’s my opinion that Hop Farm is now well and truly on the UK festival map. Furthermore we have tried to make it the best value festival ticket by having no hidden charges or added extras.”
