Neil Young - A Day at the Hop Farm in Kent

Mean Fiddler founder Vince Power returns to the festival stage with legend Neil Young headlining ‘A Day at the Hop Farm’

Joining Neil Young will be many other very special guests including Primal Scream, Supergrass, My Morning Jacket, singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright and the Guillemots at this unique one day festival on 6th July 2008; totally unbranded, without any sponsorship, VIP areas or registration.

Sounds refreshing to say the least as it’s a return to how it all started for old time promoter Power. The main man behind the success of Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury, Homelands, Creamfields and Tribal Gathering festivals and venues at The Astoria, The Forum and Jazz Cafe the only reason he’s been quiet of late is that there was a non-competition clause in the contract when he sold his stake in the Mean Fiddler group in 2005.

Now that the legal shackles are off, he’s gone big time with rock, country, grunge, folk and political activist, Neil Young. Young was recently at the Hammersmith Apollo that was the first time in 5 years since he’d played the capital. Now you can get your tickets to see him in the Kentish countryside at the Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge.

Anyone that attended Young’s 1993 gig at Finsbury Park with Pearl Jam will tell you that this gig promises to be the event of summer 2008; especially with the packed supporting line up of Power guaranteed world-class live music entertainment. Get your tickets now to avoid disappointment as they say.
