first acts for No Direction Home 2012

The first acts have been announced for No Direction Home, a sister event to End Of The Road, to be held from Friday 8th until Sunday 10th June 2012 (summer thus neatly bookended by the two festivals) at Welbeck near Worksop in North Nottinghamshire, on the northern edge of Sherwood Forest.

The confirmed acts in alphabetical order are Andrew Bird, Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny, David Thomas Broughton, Diagrams, Django Django, Dirty Three, Gruff Rhys, Lanterns on the Lake, Liz Green, Martin Carthy, Martin Simpson, Moon Duo, Slow Club, Spectrals, The Low Anthem, The Unthanks with The Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band, and Veronica Falls.

More details will be released soon, but the festival has warned that 25% of the tickets have been sold since the mere existence of the festival was first revealed by way of a handpainted sign near the cider bus at End of the Road 2011.

Early bird tickets including camping are priced as follows: An adult weekend ticket £89, a youth (13-17 years) ticket is priced £50, children aged 12 years or under can attend free. A campervan/caravan pass is priced at £40.
