Supergrass to headline Kent music festival

staying out for the summer rockers Supergrass have been announced as the headliners for The Sellindge Music Festival.

Having spent last year touring three different continents, the four Oxford lads are now set to bring their live show to Hope Farm, Sellindge, near Ashford in Kent.

Benjamin Wells, the festival's programmer said of the booking that, "Supergrass are the perfect festival headliner, heroes whose music has earned them a following amongst all generations."

2009 will see last year's dance tent become the 'HeadRoc Arena', the brainchild of two of Kent's dance nights, Evissa and Basslick, who will have local and established acts sharing the decks with names including Cut La Roc, Brandon Block, Saman'i, Eddy Temple Morris, and Micky Slim.

The festival, now in its second year, takes place over the weekend from Friday 5th until Sunday 7th June offering a fusion of folk, world, dance and indie music. Having grown out of the Sellindge Steam Special, the Sellindge Music Festival is now a dedicated three-day music festival which supports charities close to the organisers hearts.

The full line-up is yet to be announced for the event, which sees BBC Kent Introducing's return, as well as a brand new acoustic stage, The festival has launched a competition called 'The Main Stage Talent Tournament' to find a band to play on the main stage.

Weekend ticket-holders will be able to enter the festival site, camping field and music arena from 3pm on Friday 5th June.
