Patti Smith
Festival organisers said of the 'Godmother of Punk's booking, "We have been huge fans of Patti Smith's work for many years and to have her finally play our festival is frankly surreal and a real honour. There are few musicians whose names alone can evoke such a vast array of images, sounds and stories as Patti Smith's."

The festival which happens at Larmer Tree Gardens, Tollard Royal, Salisbury, in Wiltshire on Friday 31st to Sunday 2nd September 2012 has previously confirmed headliners Grandaddy, and Grizzly Bear are making their only UK festival appearance, and Tindersticks are co-headliners. Also confirmed are Midlake, The Low Anthem, Alessi's Ark, Cashier no 9, Dirty Three, John Grant, Alabama Shakes, Willis Earl Beal, Dirty Beaches, Jonathan Wilson, Lanterns on the Lake, Roy Harper, Veronica Falls, Beach House, The Antlers, I Break Horses, Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard, Justin Townes Earle, Moulettes, Robyn Hitchcock, Anna Calvi, Villagers, 2:54, Deer Tick, The Mark Lanegan Band, Pictish Trail, The Shivers, Yeti Lane, Abigail Washburn with Kai Welch, Cold Specks, Dark Dark Dark, Francois & The Atlas Mountains, Islet, Toy, and more.
