Legendary hip-hop group De La Soul have been confirmed as headliners for Standon Calling 2013, which takes place in Hertfordshire in August next year.
The New York trio’s set comes nearly a quarter of a century after the release of their masterpiece debut album ‘3 Feet High and Rising’, a record that was named ‘Album of the Year’ by NME in 1989, proof of the global, cross-genre impact De La Soul have made throughout their career. A catalogue featuring ‘Me Myself and I’, ‘The Magic Number’ and ‘Grind Date’ is sure to see the fields of Standon reverberating to the sound of alternative hip-hop’s godfathers.
"We are delighted to have De La Soul headline Standon Calling. It's an act I've wanted to bring to Standon for a while," says festival founder Alex Trenchard. "De La Soul is the first in a series of exciting announcements and the calibre of entertainment we have planned for 2013 is incredibly high. We can't think of an equivalent three-day festival out there that offers such a competitively priced weekend ticket."
Festival-goers can ensure their place at Standon Calling 2013 for just £85 per weekend ticket by taking up the 'early bird' offer, a snip in comparison to many other UK festivals whose prices have soared into three figures in the past few years. Furthermore, by purchasing four or more tickets in one transaction, festival-goers can benefit from the 'super early bird group discount' and bag themselves a weekend ticket for just £79 each. Last but by no means least, making Standon Calling super family friendly, entry for under 13’s is free when accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.
