The Pogues to headline Guilfest

The Pogues have been confirmed as the Friday headliner for Guilfest, which takes place at Stoke Park, Guilford from Friday 15th until Sunday 17th July.

The Pogues will be appearing with a line-up of Shane MacGowan, Peter 'Spider' Stacy, James Fernley, Jem Finer, Phillip Cheveron, Terry Woods, Andrew Ranken and Darryl Hunt.

This will be The Pogues first appearance since the Xmas 2004 tour, preceeding their appearance at the Fuji Festival and the short tour of Japan which follows.

They join the headliners for the Saturday and Sunday, Paul Weller, and Status Quo respectively. More acts will be announced in around a week.


Tickets are on sale, priced at £75 for all three days, or £85 with camping. Day tickets cost £35 for any day. Click here to buy online.


Guilfest this year has five music stages, the Cosmic Comedy Tent, a new Tropical Bar, the Kidzone, and great markets, on a site that's been redesigned, and with a slight increase in capacity to 17,500 per day.

Guilfest has worked hard to improve accessability for all, and has a new area for camping for visitors with disabilities and their families and friends, on top of it already having gentle inclines and short-cut grass - making it easy to access by those with mobility disabilities.
