A new Saturday headliner has been confirmed for The Long Road Festival.
After Baily Zimmerman recently cancelled all his UK and European performances, including his Saturday headline slot at the festival, organisers have revealed that Rolling Stones' guitarist Wood and his band will take his place and will be joined by Irish star Imelda May.
The country, Americana and roots music celebration will host its seventh edition at its regular venue, Stanford Hall in Leicestershire, over the summer Bank Holiday weekend.
The Shires will top Friday's Bill and Maren Morris will close out the weekend on the Sunday. Head below to check out the full line-up to date.
There will also be stage takeovers from Loose Music Records, Snakefarm Records and Oh Boy! Records across the weekend.
Beyond the musical line-up, festival-goers can experience American-style street food and BBQ from Red Dog Saloon, craft beers, classic cars and bikes, line dancing, campfires, vintage rides, dog shows, family activities, Country-oke, and more.
