Editors set to appear at Standon Calling 2017

Editors, Kate Tempest, KT Tunstall, Slow Club, Idris Elba, Lindstrom, Doc Brown, Horse Meat Disco, Strong Asian Mothers and John Hassall & The April Rainers are among the latest wave of acts heading for this years Standon Calling.

Standon Calling takes place from Friday 28th - Sunday 30th July at Standon Lordship, Standon, Hertfordshire, SG11 1PR.  The festival is about much more than just the music and they’re keen to support interesting artists of all ilks, be they painters, sculptors, writers, actors, comedians or even chefs. A different theme takes over the event each year, reflected in the interactive theatre, art installations, set designs, and outrageous outfits their guests dream up.

They’re pretty sure we’re the only UK festival to feature a swimming pool and their guests make enthusiastic use of that too. They know the people that come to Standon are special so they make an effort to make them feel appreciated. They also like to keep our fields clean and green. Aside from only working with caterers that care about their refuse, they also employ an on-site environmental army to recycle as much as possible and ensure that nothing stays on site that shouldn’t after the event.

Other acts added to the bill are: Yonaka, Skinny Living, Peluche, The Menendez Brothers, Jive Talk, Catherine McGrath, The Wandering Hearts, Cronicle, OUTLYA, The Tin Pigeons, Josephine and The Artizans, Hattie Whitehead and Kalyde.

In addition to music Standon have revealed their family entertainment including: Fairyland Trust, Kats Whiskers, Standon Calling Campfire (Featuring Author Readings, Hip Hop Academy, Wish Upon A Party, Ethereal Productions, Hartbeeps, Library and Craft Zone.
