We are thrilled to announce the line up for our annual Christmas Shindig – taking place at Oslo in Hackney, London on Thursday 10 December.

We can’t wait to welcome Joanna Gruesome as our festive headliners, especially after the band had to cancel their festival performance earlier this year. Completing the bill are DIY punk heroes Martha (fresh from their US tour with Radiator Hospital) and festival highlight, Yorkshire born anarchic singer-songwriter Mark Wynn.

There will also be DJs and a whole lot of dancing until 2AM.

Tickets cost £12 + booking fee, and are on sale now. Buy yours here.

We hope to see you there!

Sufjan Stevens, Tame Impala, The War on Drugs, Future Islands, Laura Marling and more are all lined up and ready to go for the 10th Edition of End of The Road Festival.

We’ve got some incredible bands set to play across our 4 stages next weekend but with every blessing comes a curse, and there are inevitably going to be some timing clashes. Alas, not to worry, our online media partners The Line of Best Fit are on hand to walk you through the toughest of the weekend’s decisions. Below sits a download link to their handy clashfinder listing the full line-up within a quick glance table – full timings and stages included.

It’s going to be a magical weekend, and not just because of the headliners. As everyone who has been to End of The Road knows, it’s all about the new discoveries and secret performances. Who will be popping up at the Piano Stage or singing on the Disco Ship? We don’t know. But when artist and audience arrive, and our unique atmosphere springs to life, anything could happen …

It’s day splits time!

The Woods Stage will be headlined by Australia’s psych superstars Tame Impala on Friday, Sufjan Stevens playing his only European festival show on Saturday, and critics’ album of 2014 holders the War on Drugs on Sunday. Friday’s line up includes Django Django, LOW, and experimental electronic adventurer East India Youth.

On Saturday My Morning Jacket will play the Woods stage while the legendary Mark Lanegan Band headlines the now iconic Garden Stage as part of Heavenly Records 25th Birthday celebrations, which also features St Etienne performing their classic album Foxbase Alpha, while Sleaford Mods take the headline slot in the Big Top.

We are thrilled to welcome back festival veterans Brakes, who return to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their seminal 2005 debut Give Blood as we celebrates our 10 years. The Brighton four-piece first bought their riotous sounds to the festival in 2006 (and have played many times since), and we just know taking a trip back in time with ‘All Night Disco Party’ is going to be one of the weekend’s highlights. Completing Sunday’s bill, Future Islands will make the last night go off with a dancing bang while Laura Marling will bring the house back down to its roots as she headlines the Garden Stage.

MAMMÚT and Peter Matthew Bauer also join the bill.

Set times are revealed much closer to the festival, and are staggered in order to do all we can to help you avoid having to make those heartbreaking decisions. If it looks like a clash, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is. So don’t panic!

PHILL JUPITUS, ANDY ZALTZMAN AND SARA PASCOE CONFIRMED

RICHARD KING, GABRIELLE DRAKE & more for LIBRARY STAGE

We are  delighted to announce the literary and comedy line-ups for this year’s festival.

On the Comedy stage, panel show extraordinaire Phill Jupitus of Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Porky The Poet fame will be joined by fellow serial panelist Sara Pascoe, alongside John Oliver’ political comedy partner Andy Saltzman. Robin Ince, presenter of BBC Radio show The Infinite Monkey Cage will also be joining them, bringing his informative hilarity to the festival.

The Library Stage will play host to Richard King, the author of the acclaimed history of independent labels How Soon Is Now? and music biographers Zoë Howe (The Jesus and Mary Chain Story and Stevie Nicks) and Rob Chapman (Syd Barrett) will explore a plethora of topics and their own work.

In recognition of folk legend Nick Drake, End of the Road is pleased to host a special celebration of his life. Nick’s sister Gabrielle Drake and Cally Callomon will be coming along to discus their recent book Remembered For A While, the authorised companion to the music of Nick Drake. Published by John Murray, the book shares anecdotes from Nick’s friends, critics, adherents, family and from Nick Drake himself. The talk may well be interspersed by some special guest performances.

The Comedy and Literature line-up adds to the already phenomenal 2015 bill, which includes Sufjan Stevens performing his only European festival this year on Saturday night, following Australia’s psych superstars Tame Impala on Friday. Sunday night will see the critics’ album of 2014 holders The War On Drugs play their only English summer festival this year, as well as anticipated performances from the likes of My Morning Jacket, Future Islands, Laura Marling, Django Django, Mac DeMarco and St Etienne performing their classic album Fox Base Alpha in full.
