HERE is a photo gallery from this year’s Shindig Festival.
The photos show festivalgoers and artists enjoying the festival that took place from May 25 to May 28 in the stunning grounds of Dillington Estate, a 16th-century house, and hotel that’s surrounded by beautiful, tree-studded parkland.
This year’s headliners included dance-pop legend, Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge, so expect much-loved disco classics such as We Are Family, Greatest Dancer, Lost In Music, and Thinking Of You; and satirical news reporter (and comedy genius), Jonathan Pie, known for his a potty-mouthed, highly quotable parody of a journalist who can often be found outside Westminster.
Other main acts include London post-punk band, Warmduscher; the original queen of reggae music who is best known for No, No No, Dawn Penn; London-based artist, producer, remixer, DJ, and founder of Phantasy, Erol Alkan; top dog in the bass heavy-atmosphere of Britain's reggae dancehalls and BBC regular, David Rodigan; one of the most celebrated and accomplished DJs in Britain, Norman Jay MBE; and BBC 6 music’s, Huey Morgan.
This year’s fancy dress theme was Mad Hatters.
Shindig has a reputation for combining old-school royalty with festival mainstays, and rising stars.
It prides itself on having no main stage, just a beautiful arrangement of stretch marquees.
Festival folk roam effortlessly from stage to stage, with a drink in hand, enjoying the atmosphere in what some might describe as the perfect festival village.
