MORE acts have been announced for a brand-new music festival set to take place in a huge Essex park later this year.
State Fayre will open at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, with headliners Kings of Leon, Neil Young, and The Lumineers from June 26 to June 28.
The festival was announced back in November last year and will celebrate “rock, Americana and barbecue”.
The Black Crowes, Kingfishr, Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, Counting Crows, KT Tunstall, The Coral and more were announced for the camping festival at the time as well.
A second wave of acts has now been announced for the lineup, including names such as Razorlight, Orville Peck, Jack Savortti, Stephen Wilson Jr., The Magic Numbers, and Molly Tuttle.
A spokesperson for the festival said: “State Fayre will bring a true taste of Americana to the UK in June, with an incredible line-up spanning rock, country, and folk music.
“Inspired by American state fairs, long summer nights and tailgate parties, State Fayre is a celebration of music, food and culture, blending contemporary and classic sounds with a distinctive American theme.
“Audiences will be able to immerse themselves in the sounds, sights, and tastes of Americana across the whole weekend.
“The UK’s premier BBQ festival, FUME, will host The FUME Pit on-site, featuring award-winning pitmasters and vendors from across the UK and beyond.”
The festival will have a capacity of around 30,000 and have three main stages.
State Fayre will feature vegetarian and vegan food traders, live food talks and demonstrations, whiskey, craft beers and cocktail bars.
There will also be non-alcoholic drinks options, boutique camping options, state fair festival rides and activities.
State Fayre’s organisers Anna-Sophie Mertens and Alex Simmonds of Live Nation, said: “We’ve been delighted with the response to State Fayre so far, and we can’t wait to bring a brand new major camping festival to Essex.
“Today’s announcement brings even more incredible artists to the line-up, reflecting the energy and ambition behind State Fayre — and there’s still plenty more to come.”
