End of the Road Festival
31 August – 2 September 2012
Larmer Tree Gardens, Dorset

The End of the Road Festival is pleased to announce that—in a UK festival exclusive—Grizzly Bear will be a headliner at next year’s festival.

Also in this first artist announcement for 2012: Beach House will play a UK festival exclusive and the bill will also be joined by Tindersticks, Frank Fairfield, I Break Horses, Justin Townes Earle, Robyn Hitchcock, Stranded Horse, Outfit, Sleep Party People, Richard Buckner, and Driver Drive Faster.

The festival, which in 2012 enters its seventh year, recently won Best Small Festival at the 2011 UK Festival Awards following an amazing year with a critically lauded lineup led by Beirut, Joanna Newsom and Mogwai.

Next year End of the Road will be joined by a sister festival, No Direction Home, which will set up camp at Welbeck Abbey on the edge of Sherwood Forest from 8 – 10 June 2012. The first artist announcement for the festival’s freshman year is pending and will be sent shortly.
