UK Festival End Of The Road has its full lineup for 2023 which will commence from August 31 till September 3 at Larmer Tree Gardens, Blandford Forum in Dorset. The leading lineup will include one of the biggest names in today’s neo-psychedelic rock and experimental music, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard from Melbourne as the first lineup. The second lineup is Baltimore-based synth-pop band Future Islands. Third, in line is Grammy-Award-winning Indie-Rock band, Wilco from Illinois.

This year marks history for two major artists in a while. It will be the first time that King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard make an appearance 6 years prior to this year’s lineup. Singer-Songwriter Angel Olsen’s appearance at End Of The Road will be the first time in a decade.
End Of The Road owner, Simon Taffe expressed his thoughts about this year’s lineup. “This year’s lineup excites me beyond words. I feel so lucky to be able to bring my record collection to life! King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Future Islands, Angel Olsen, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Ezra Furman have put on some of my favourite live performances over the years and more recently Arooj Aftab, Greentea Peng and John Francis Flynn have blown me away.”
He continued, “End Of The Road is all about discovery, and I can’t wait to welcome a whole load of amazing new acts that have never played before like Biig Piiig, Flohio, Floodlights, Horse Lords, Infinity Knives and Brain Ennals, Moin, They Hate Change and a lot more! As always we will be doing everything we can to make it the best year yet, with plenty of surprises to come.”
Last year, in a five-star review of End Of The Road 2022, NME wrote, “It’s deeper into the forest that the festival’s most special moments occur- at the miniscule Piano Stage in a buried woodland clearing, some of the weekend’s biggest acts (including Kurt Vile and Lucy Dacus) perform quick and unannounced 15-minute acoustic shows. In general, there’s a gentle surrealism to the End Of The Road site- where else would you look up to see a glorious golden-green parrot squawking away in the trees, or a peacock enjoying the soundchecks on a bleary Sunday morning?”
