End of the Road radiates an inspired visionary quality. Over the years it has acquired legions of fans who come year after year from every corner of the country, and even further afield. Terms like ‘charming’ and ‘magical’ definitely spring to mind when you think about End of the Road, both in terms of its programming and its site. After all, which other festival can boast peacocks, lanterns and a tree library? Musically, this is indie at its best, definitely more ATP than NME. As well as legendary names, the bill often features little known names, which is both very bold and hugely important for the future of music. This year’s 10th anniversary line-up is already attracting a lot of praise likely to ensure a sold-out event. This is a kind of festival where audiences listen to the music rather talk through sets and everything from the beautifully-crafted designs to the glorious and inexpensive selections of food and drink speaks of genuine love and care.
Music highlights: Alvvays, Fat White Family, Future Islands, Jessica Pratt, Laura Marling, Mac DeMarco, Ought, Sleaford Mods, Sufjan Stevens, War on Drugs
