Seth Lakeman replaces Richard Thompson at Beautiful Days

headlining The Big Top tomorrow night

Thursday 20th August 2009


Seth Lakeman has been announced as a late replacement for Richard Thompson at tomorrow's Beautiful Days festival.

Seth Lakeman
Tomorrow's Big Top headliner Richard Thompson is unable to play because he has broken a finger. Taking his place, at the top of the bill, will be Devon's own Seth Lakeman. Seth and his band have agreed to step in at the last minute.

The festival's 2009 theme has been announced as 'Flower Power' a colourful theme offering fancy dress wearers the chance to pick something retro, psychedelic, or hippie.

The weekend's line-up includes Hawkwind as Friday night headliners, The Pogues are headlining Saturday night, and Levellers will headline on the Sunday night and close the festival playing the album 'A Weapon Called the Word' in its entirety, plus a few other favourites, followed by a firework finale.

Also performing are The Saw Doctors, Gong, Lamb, The Imagined Village, Pendulum (DJ set), Dub Pistols, Cara Dillon, The King Blues, Eliza Carthy, Imelda May, Lau, Edward II, Kris Drever, John McCusker & Roddy Woomble Trio, John Smith, Sonic Boom Six, Les Truttes, Chris T-T, Jay Jay Pistolet, Ruarri Joseph, and more. For the line-up details, day, and stage splits as available please click here.

The dates for the seventh Beautiful Days are confirmed as from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd August at Escot Park, near Fairmile, in Devon.

The Devon festival features music across five stages, and street theatre, as well as site art and sculpture, lots of children's activities with a huge children's area in the centre of the festival, theatre, comedy, family camping, camping facilities, licensed bars from local company Otter Brewery, world food, craft stalls, fancy dress, a 'village shop' on site, and more. There is plenty of family camping close to the car parks, which will be clearly signposted.
