Texas trio Khruangbin will be filling the third spot, giving some of the festival’s US fans something to look forward to. Hot off their latest collaboration with songwriter Leon Bridges (some of whose latest endeavours can be read about here), their EP Texas Moon (released February 18^th) debuted at no.4 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart, with The FADER arguing its music was a match for the likes of “Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” Barry White’s “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love Baby,” and Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing““.

The group will be making their way to the UK, visiting Buckinghamshire’s Claydon Estate and making the most of the weekend, which lasts from June 17^th-19^th. Some other acts that have been recently announced include Maya Jane Coles, Island of Love and Puppy (who’ve also been recently announced for the 2000trees festival in July, which you can read about here).

We’re delighted to announce @Khruangbin as our 3rd main headliner & @mjcofficial on the Canopy dance stage.

However, music is only one side of the story here. There’s also the beer, the importance of which can’t be understated. Early last February, it was already known who some of the manufacturers were that would be helping out (e.g. Braybrooke, Two Tribes and Verdant). But there’s been more on the way since then. The likes of Amundsen, Brew York and Mondo are just some of the new names on their latest line-up, so don’t worry; there’s plenty for all!

If you’re interested, standard adult weekend tickets are £150, and this includes the booking fee. You can look at this link to get tickets. As for youths (13-17), they get off lightly, with £90 tickets available for the early release. Kids are £40 in addition to the booking fee.

As for Khruangbin, like many other artists, they’re making the most of the world opening up, embarking on a tour around America and Europe. Three UK performances in the middle of April are upcoming; one in London’s Alexandra Palace (April 14th), one in Glasgow’s O2 Academy (April 15th) and the other in Manchester’s O2 Apollo (April 16th). A full list of tour dates and ticket options can be seen on their website here.

And there will be drinking! A small selection of the various breweries announced as providing the goods include Braybrooke, Two Tribes and Verdant, so there’s plenty for everyone.

Some of the supporting line-up includes artists such as Self Esteem, Working Men’s Club and Erol Alkan, more of which can be seen below. A third headliner is also set to be announced sometime soon so keep a look out for more information. Further updates can be seen on their website here.

If you’re interested in attending the festival, tickets go on general sale this Friday, from 9 am GMT, and can be gotten here. It’ll be happening at Claydon Estate in Buckinghamshire and promises to be a good weekend for all. They’ve prepared resources for both experienced campers and those more used to the comforts of home, so take your pick.

From general camping (for the most steely and enthusiastic of campers) to the Tangerine Fields (with their pre-pitched tents), they’ve got everything. However, if you prefer your countryside with a bit of luxury, the boutique camping option might be more your style.

As for the headliners, if you want another opportunity to see Caribou in action, he’ll be attending the Wide Awake Festival in May, running from the 27^th-28^th of the month in London’s Brockwell Park, tickets for which can be gotten here.

As for Happy Mondays, they’ll be treating fans to a UK tour running throughout October and November later this year (as well as some dates from May to July). If you want more details on getting tickets, you can look here. If you want to see the tour dates, you can look below.
