On Friday, the festival gates open welcoming partygoers into an apple orchard cloaked in colour with the Orchard Stage dressed up to the nines drawing you in with a backdrop of the lush emerald Bromyard valleys. The rhythm and riffs of rock + indie alongside theatrical world music, hip hop poetry and comedy shanties will get you winding through the trees, where all manner of consumption and entertainment will leave you wanting to turn in every direction.
The Garden Stage, overlooking Lake Shepherd, offers more diverse sounds ranging from folk to punk and late night breaks. Well after midnight, melodies will be heard on the breeze from the Bandstand offering electro-acoustic tunes every hour you can find and on Friday night only a selection of local talent from BBC Introducing...
When the Farm has begun to feel like home (it won’t take long) and your shopping itch has been scratched by our retail village, why not sate your playful curiosities with some interactive workshops and wander over to the Bantam of the Opera in Nozstock’s newest sweet spot the Dingle, where the best of theatre for all the family collides with inspiring dramatic works to keep you captivated for hours. Alternately, stumble along to the hilarity inducing antics presented by Up for Comedy?, sneek a voyeuristic peek at the Cabaret delights in store late into the night or head over to the Cinetent showcasing short films from a pick of brilliant and often unusual new talent and established alchemists.
For the anti-Cinderellas who are just getting started when the clock strikes twelve, look no further than The Rave Yard. The Bullpen will weave a journey through Old Skool, Breakbeat, Hard Dance and Trance for those die-hard dance-a-holics and the Cubicles will be hosting – you guessed it – the dirtiest dubstep and whompin’ drum n bass. Boasting the use of the famous Precision Sound System and mind-warping experimental visuals the Cubicles Arena is set to invigorate the idlest sloth! And don’t forget the Rave Yard’s sister sideshow – the stage is set for a sonic showdown of psytrance in the Coppice, thanks to the Tribe of Frog.
When your legs finally give way, revellers can rest up and catch a few zzzzs before refueling with both vegetarian and omnivorian breakfasts. Sunday is the perfect day to laze on the grass in the summer sunshine and let some sweet acoustic rhythms waft over you, punctuated with samba sounds and some late surprises.
Banging beats, rocking tunes, intriguing films and theatrical delights alongside all the extras like Little Wonderland (choc-full of kid's entertainment) and fire displays, circus entertainment, spoken word and the popular vintage tractor exhibit (oh yes folks, it’s back!) not to mention good, affordable local food and drink really make Nozstock Festival a weekend to remember! Don’t be the sad face that missed it!
