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.

With only a few tickets left, make sure you don’t miss out on the anniversary of the year. Final tier tickets are on sale at £195: http://www.endoftheroadfestival.com/tickets

Today is a day for celebrating Festival Independence. As proud members of the AIF (The Association for Independent Festivals, part of AIM at large) we’re taking part in their Festival Fever initiative.

AIF are hosting a competition for the best fan footage shot at an AIF member festival in 2014. The winner will receive an ‘Ultimate Festival Ticket’ giving them access to as many AIF member events as they can attend in 2015.

For more information on how to enter, head over here: http://aiforg.com/festivalfever/index.html

We are thrilled to add Laura Marling to this year’s already outstanding line up. Having just released her fifth album Short Movie to universal acclaim, Laura returns to the festival for the third time.

Salad Days man Mac DeMarco also joins the bill, bringing his “Jizz-Jazz” groove to Larmer Tree Gardens whilst Minnesota indie legends Low will be bringing 10 studio album’s worth of ‘slowcore’ anthems to hypnotise your mind.

Toronto’s hardcore trio Metz are set to cut through the weekend’s tranquillity with their sludge punk, Sheffield duo Slow Club are poised to inject some pop into proceedings, whilst Illinois native Ryley Walker will have you mesmerised with his guitar picking skills.

Each year, EOTR gives new and/or unsigned artists the chance to perform at the festival. This year they received over 2000 applications and have chosen three new acts from an incredibly talented pool of submissions:

Opening the Woods stage will be the exuberant, Paul Russell led, orchestral ensemble Human Pyramids. Glaswegian lo-fi electro-pop duo Miracle Strip will feature on the forthcoming End of The Road x Rough Trade Shops compilation. London garage-pop purveyors LOVE L.U.V have been invited to join the 10 year celebrations too, bringing with them a combination of 60s era Beatles pop and raw, raucous energy.

HEAVENLY RECORDINGS CELEBRATE THEIR 25TH BIRTHDAY AT END OF THE ROAD

End Of The Road is delighted to welcome My Morning Jacket to this year’s festival. The Kentucky five-piece, famed for their transcendent live performances, haven’t played in the UK since 2011 and are due to release their seventh album in 2015.

End of The Road is also throwing its arms wide open to Heavenly Recordings. The label will be curating the treasured Garden Stage on Saturday in honour of their 25th Birthday, bringing with them the legendary Mark Lanegan Band to headline the Garden Stage, Saint Etienne who will be performing their classic 1991 album (and Heavenly’s first ever album) Fox Base Alpha in full, festival favourites Stealing Sheep, newcomer Eaves and strange pop champion H. Hawkline.

A whole host of new artists are set to join the legends on this year’s bill too. Jacco Gardner will be providing the finest in Dutch baroque pop, Welsh punks Joanna Gruesome will be bringing their frenzied noise, R. Seiliog will be there with his late night experimental house outings, whilst the ever-burgeoning Marika Hackman is set to deliver the beautiful, bruised sounds of her critically acclaimed debut album We Slept At Last.

End Of The Road will also introduce Beth Jeans Houghton’s new avant-garde project Du Blonde, as well as welcoming Mary Timony’s ragged riot grrrl project Ex-Hex and Howe Gelb’s Giant Sand collective.
