The Vaccines, & The Horrors, confirmed for Chazzstock

The Vaccines, and The Horrors lead the first acts to be announced for Chazzstock the two day festival, organised as both a tribute to the late Ou Est La Swimming Pool singer Charles Haddon, and as a charity fundraising event.

Freddie Cowan of The Vaccines said, "I'm proud to announce our participation in a brand new festival this summer called Chazzstock. Chazzstock is a non profit festival set up for charity in name and memory of my dear late friend Charlie Haddon.

"It was a long held ambition of Charlie's to put on his own festival, as always he was rarely concerned with anything but the enjoyment of others and with the combined efforts of his friends and family we are going to see that dream materialise this summer.

"Expect a festival set up with a unique love and attention, just a few miles from his home, in the beautiful grounds of Stanford Hall, Leicestershire. And please look out for further line up announcements. Thank you and we hope to see you there."

Tom Cowan, of The Horrors added, "Charlie was a dear friend to us all for many years and we're pleased to be a part of Chazzstock, both in remembrance of our friend and in support of The Prince's Trust."
