It’s been a real struggle the past few weeks keeping this a secret, but finally we can let it all out into the open…
James Bay, the winner of the 2015 BRIT’s Critics’ Choice award will be returning to the farm to close this year’s festival on the Sunday night.
The Hitchin-born singer-songwriter first appeared Barn on the Farm back in 2013, playing a sunny mid-afternoon slot on the third stage. Since then James Bay has taken both the UK and global music scene by force, becoming runner-up on the BBC Sound Of 2015 list and winning a BRIT Award even before releasing his first album.
James Bay debut album, “Chaos and the Calm”, will be released on 23rd March and promises to be one of the finest albums of the year. This will also be James’s first ever festival headline .
