The Charlatans to headline new festival

United Kingdom | | 11 May 2006

The Charlatans will headline a brand new festival taking place in Kent this summer. Electric Gardens will pit firey indie bands like The Automatic and Mohair against dance innovators such as Plump DJs and Cassius.

Electric Gardens takes place at Mount Ephraim Gardens, near Canterbury, Kent, on 5-6 August.

Set in landscaped gardens surrounded by acres of orchard and woodland, the Saturday will feature loads of groovy dance acts, including Layo & Bushwacka!, Audio Bullys, Cassius, Stanton Warriors and Plump DJs.

While the Sunday will give way to the latest crop of young indie faves, such as The Young Knives, The Automatic, The Fratellis, The Long Blondes, and Larrikin Love. Watching over the teenage tykes will be headliners The Charlatans, who are old enough to be their dad (see full lineup below).

Tickets are priced a very generous £20 for earlybirds, £30 for late ones. They go on sale soon. Click here for more info. The lineup is thus...
