Alongside Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson and Ray Davies, our headliners represent some of the greatest timeless pop ever produced. And with a packed line up of classic old favourites and great new bands, as well as lots of new attractions on site, we're set to take Hop Farm to new heights in 2014."
