Donovan has been announced as the Friday headliner of the 11th family friendly Chagstock which takes place over 2 days on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd July 2016 at Whiddon Down, Chagford, in Devon.

Neatly coinciding with Chagstock's own 10th anniversary, Easy Star All Stars will celebrate the 10 years since the release of their iconic album ‘Radiodread’ – their beautiful, ska-reggae infused re-imagining of Radiohead’s album ‘Ok Computer’ – alongside a selection from their extensive back catalogue of dub-heavy re-workings of classic artists; from Pink Floyd (Dub Side Of The Moon) to The Beatles (Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Dub Band) via Michael Jackson (Easy Stars’ Thrillah).

Also confirmed are The Blockheads, The Leylines, New Crisis, The Noble Jacks, Wildwood Kin, and Johnny & the Chic Sisters.

Also recently confirmed The Stranglers will headline the Saturday night, plus Ferocious Dog, Tankus the Henge, Danny and the Champions Of The World, The Voodoo Trombone Quartet, Cattle & Cane, Black Static, Marc O'Reilly, and Rews.
