Bright Eyes, Fleet Foxes and Khruangbin Announced As Last Three End of the Road Festival Headliners

End of the Road Festival has finally announced their last three headlining acts, after last September’s announcement that alternative rock band Pixies would be included. The final three are US indie-rock group Bright Eyes, Seattle’s critically acclaimed Fleet Foxes, and Khruangbin – a musical trio known for their dabbling in world music and psychedelia.

Occurring on September 1st-4th, the festival is a big event for fans of rock and folk music, having sold out every year since 2008 to the thousands of fans it attracts. Debuting in 2006 and created by friends Simon Taffe and Sofia Hagberg, it’s held centre stage to a whole host of well-known artists, and has even won a Best Small Festival Award four times since its inception.

Simon Taffe had this to say: “I’m beyond excited about our 2022 line-up, which features artists we’ve been asking to play since 2006 and includes some of the greatest songwriters of all time in my opinion …. We have all been through a lot together and it feels good to be back, and to finally be able to dance with friends and artists from all over the world again.”

The festival takes place in Larmer Tree Gardens and features a host of attractions, with a film tent, a games area (ping-pong and table football catch your fancy?) and late-night entertainment for those of you into your karaoke. Camping is an option, so you can make the most of the four-day festivities whilst you’re there.

Despite being cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, the festival came back in full swing last year, receiving a five-star review in The Independent and hosting names such as Damon Albarn, Little Simz, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and Hot Chip. Hopefully, 2022 can see the festival’s legacy carried on as live music makes its tentative comeback across the world, with artists such as Black Midi, The Magnetic Fields and Yard Act also part of the line-up this year. For a more full list, you can look here.

However, in terms of festival news, that’s not all. Parklife announced today that 50 Cent, Megan Thee Stallion and Tyler, the Creator will all be part of the line-up at Heaton Park in June. Other well-known artists involved include rapper Headie One, Lewis Capaldi and up-and-coming star PinkPantheress. Tickets for this one will be on sale to all next Thursday. If interested, you can go here.


On the whole, it seems to be a good time for music fans all over the world, and if you want to make the most of it, you can get tickets for End of the Road here.

UPDATE 13/04/2022

As of the 13th of April, End of the Road has announced that a number of new groups have been added to the roster, and have also announced that they are issuing extra tickets for this year. These are available via the festival’s website, although we’d advise any prospective attendees to act fast, as they will sell out soon.

Joining the line-up are bombastic New York art rock duo Battles, electronic artist Ross From Friends, American indie-rocker Soccer Mommy, post-punk flavoured West Yorkshire rockers English Teacher, fuzzed out alt-rock outfit Spirit of the Beehive, alongside Skullcrusher and Karima Walker, to name just a few. A full list can be seen below.
