The Brownstock Festival Team has taken the decision to move the festival forward to take place between 10th-12 July in 2015. The festival had previously taken place on the weekend after August bank holiday weekend.

The festival, which was headlined in 2014 by Dizzee Rascal, De La Soul, Razorlight and Pendulum (dj), was due to fall very late next year. Following feedback from festival goers the team have taken the decision to move the event much to an earlier date to kickstart the summer. Anyone who had already bought a ticket for 2015 has been offered an exchange to the new date or a full refund.

A spokesperson from Brownstock Festival said “It has been brilliant to see how excited our festival goers have been that they don’t have to wait a whole year for the festivities to begin!”

Earlybird tickets for the event are already on sale for £69 for the full weekends entertainments.

2014 will saw the festival’s 10 anniversary year since it began in 2005 as a small event for 150 people. The Brown family now welcomes 6000 visitors to the farm, but the festival is still completely independent with a uniquely quirky, and handmade entertainments.

Beyond the main stage and huge Good Shed dance tent which houses some of the UK’s top DJs, the Essex festival is also scattered with themed areas. The Stumble Inn which is the festival’s house tent, a silent disco, and a The Treehouse stage which was nominated for best UK festival stage at the 2014 Association of Independent Festival Awards. It has giant birdsnest seats all built by Anna Brown in one of the old Oak Trees in the festival field. The festival also has a Saloon bar with swing doors and saddle seats which is where to head for a full on country hoe down. Festival goers can also enjoy a festival burger made with home raised Aberdeen Angus Beef from the farm.
