Brownstock Music Festival, held on the Brown Family’s farm, near Chelmsford in Essex, has announced that Labrinth will headline the 2012 festival which will take place on the weekend of the 31^st Aug, 1^st and 2^nd Sept 2012.

In just two years, multi-talented musician Labrinth has experienced an extraordinary career trajectory. At first as the producer, writer and vocalist behind Tinie Tempah’s massive hits, Pass Out and Frisky. Then September 2010 saw the release of Labrinth’s debut single, Let The Sunshine. Since then Labrinth released his second single, "Earthquake" on 23 October 2011 -  featuring Tinie Tempah.  

Labrinth will headline Brownstock Festival’s mainstage on the Saturday night with his full band for a live set.

The festival has also released its first batch of support bands. Over 500 bands applied to play at the 2012 event. The entire Brown Family sit for 2 days, with their friend Mat Dixon, the festival’s Music Director and personally listen to each and every band that apply, whittling it down to their chosen few. The family hates having to turn away talented bands, so will be holding competitions for the last spots and adding an extra stage, The Tree House, to the 2012 festival with the aim to support more upcoming acts. 

Shoot The Dead, Cardinal Jack, The Kubricks, The Stowaways, Crème De Chevre, Courts, Korda Marshall, The Robbie Boyd Band, Looking For Liam, The Coopers, The Great Excuse, Itchy Teeth, The Story Boys, The Beatroots, Jamie Pariso, Wild Combination, Peppermint Ape,s New Subjects, Rusty Shackle, Deco Pilot, CoCo and the Butterfields

Festival Director Adam Brown says: “We are very excited to welcome some huge and globally recognised acts to Brownstock Festival this year and Labrinth definitely tops this off. But we are also excited about our support bands. We give everyone that applies a hearing and we genuinely think that we have a few names there that will be ringing in your ears long after we close the festival gates. Remember you heard them here first.”
