Last ever line-up announced for Nozstock Festival
It takes place in Herefordshire from 18-21 July.
The line-up for the last ever Nozstock Festival has been announced.
The 'Last Dance Saloon' will welcome headliners such as Andy C, Groove Armada, Boney M and Arrested Development for the final time at The Hidden Valley.
The three day event, which takes place in Bromyard, is celebrating its 26th year - with organisers saying 'all good things must come to an end.'
The festival say the reason for announcing an end to the festival was down to the cost-of-living crisis and losses incurred over COVID.
One of the organisers, Emma Nosworthy, spoke to us about this year's line up. She said:
“It’s a little bit bittersweet this year because it’s obviously the last time we're doing this.
“So there's the excitement of knowing that these people are going to come and perform and that's always cool, but it's also kind of sad.
“It's been hard pulling it together because we wanted to make sure we were kind of honouring favourites from our past, but also getting in all the people that we had never got to have here, so it's been a difficult one, but also exciting.”
“This last one is really about honouring the people who have helped us get where we are, or the people that have created these really amazing moments.
“That's not to take away from everyone else because over the years everyone's bought something really special to this event, but there were just certain people that it wouldn't have felt right not having.
“So it that's what it came down to, and there's a couple of exciting new additions on the line up as well.”
On the Nozstock Festival website, it says:
"A huge thank you to all our performers over the years who kept our feet moving and our lips singing. To the traders, who kept our bellies full and our hearts happy. But most importantly thank you to our crew. Such a special group of people it has been an honour to work with and to know. They have been the backbone of our little event and without them the festival would be nothing.
"Finally, we want to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years. For the wonderful feedback that made us smile, the vision of 5000 people swaying in the Orchard. You made a drum n bass loving farmer very happy and created a Nozstock family that meant the world to us."
This year's Nozstock Festival takes place from 18-21 July, 2024.
