Early bird tickets will go on sale on Friday for the fifth The Hop Farm Music Festival which will take place in Kent from Friday 29th June until Sunday 1st July 2012.

Early bird tickets for the event go on sale at 9am on Friday 23rd September. The 3-day weekend tickets include camping and parking. These tickets will be available at the reduced price of £130 until the 1st of December when they will increase. eFestivals will have links for you to buy tickets on Friday.

The three-day festival will take place in Paddock Wood, Kent. Organisers say they are building on the success of this year, and are busy booking a line-up that will match up to the bill that included Prince, Eagles, Morrissey, Bryan Ferry, Brandon Flowers, Iggy and the Stooges, Lou Reed, Patti Smith and many more.

Vince Power, the Festival organiser, said, "We had an amazing year this year. For me personally it was one of the best festivals I've done, ever. Having Prince close the festival was phenomenal. Eagles and Morrissey played amazing headline sets too. Given that Prince's performance at Hop Farm was one of the defining festival moments of 2011 we're working even harder to ensure 2012 surpasses everyone's expectations."

Hop Farm is set in 400 acres of unspoilt Kent countryside, and has no VIP area, so everyone has the same experience, there's no registration, no sponsorship, and no branding.
