Stereolab, James and Baxter Dury have all recommitted to Deer Shed and will be in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire in July 2021 when the festival returns to fulfill the headlines they had planned before its cancellation this year.
“It goes without saying the last few months have been the most difficult since we established Deer Shed,” the festival’s director Oliver Jones has said. “Independent festivals across the country, that make vital contributions to British culture and the economy, are still under threat of collapse.”
“We started to make concrete plans to set up a festival in the wake of the 2008 Great Recession, and many people raised their eyebrows, but I like to think we proved them wrong. Our determination to emerge from this crisis with even more bold, new ideas is stronger than ever. The rebuild officially begins here, with so many phenomenal artists re-committing to join us in Baldersby Park for the rescheduled dates in 2021.”
Ghostpoet, Cate Le Bon, Tim Burgess, The Twilight Sad, Sinkane, Dream Wife, Boy Azooga, Roddy Woomble, Jesca Hoop and Snapped Ankles are some of the other artists who’ll also be performing at one of Live4ever’s favourite festivals of the summer season.
