Patti Smith Joins End Of The Road Festival Line-Up
Tuesday, 03 July 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
Legendary singer-songwriter Patti Smith has joined the bill for End of the Road Festival, thus completing the lineup for 2012.
This year’s lineup is led by Grizzly Bear, Grandaddy, Midlake, Beach House, Tindersticks and Dirty Three, plus Mark Lanegan Band, Van Dyke Parks, The Low Anthem and Graham Coxon - and can now boast iconic start Patti Smith too.
“We have been huge fans of Patti Smith's work for many years and to have her finally play our festival is frankly surreal and a real honour,” said the festival’s directors. “There are few musicians whose names alone can evoke such a vast array of images, sounds and stories as Patti Smith's”.
Winner of Best Small Festival at the 2011 UK Festival Awards, End of the Road is an intimate festival in a peacock-strewn former Victorian pleasure garden offering an amazing music lineup plus art, atmosphere, workshops, comedy, cinema, a woodland library, games, a healing field and the finest food and drinks.
