After the initial wave of success and since gaining the support of one of the UK’s most prestigious radio stations, BBC 6 Music, LodeStar is pleased to announce even more sensational new additions to its line up. Taking place on the beautiful Sunnyridge farm in Lode, Cambridge, LodeStar is Britain’s newest indie-rock festival for the discerning music lover combining some of the most creditable acts alongside stars of the future.
LodeStar has now confirmed even more reputable acts to join for the three-day musical extravaganza. First up the delectably odd British Sea Power who, after the release of two albums, have acquired a loyal following and critical acclaim. Australian wonder kids Architecture in Helsinki join the jaunty guitar fuelled Good Shoes and Liverpool’s The Wombats to create one of this summer’s hottest festival bills.
New, breaking bands are a predominant feature of LodeStar and kicking this off is the Anglo – Franco electro indie pop of The Teenagers. The Angular delights of the Winterkids, We Start Fires and I Was a Cub Scout support the wave of new talent at this inaugural music festival. Not only this but LodeStar will be drawing from the Cambridge’s vast pool of musical talent giving local, undiscovered music a real chance to shine through.
Lodestar can offer a festival experience that exudes credible music whilst remaining free from corporate excess and sponsorship creating a festival based around a purist love for music.
Charities are also to benefit from LodeStar, including WaterAid, East Anglian Children’s Hospice, Headway Cambridge and Arthur Rank House.
