Jeremy Clarkson’s Warwickshire farm is set to host an extraordinary event as The Great British Farm-Fest unveils its full artist lineup. Taking place from May 22 to May 24 at Stoneleigh Park near Coventry, this three-day festival offers non-stop entertainment, combining the vibrant world of music with beloved British farming culture.
The Hawkstone Music Arena, named after Clarkson’s own beer brand, will transform the farm into a lively concert venue. Fans will see popular farming personalities like Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, and Charlie Ireland step away from their usual agricultural roles to join the festivities on stage.
Opening night features the Young Farmer DJ Battle, where agricultural enthusiasts compete in a unique turntable showdown hosted by Capital Radio’s Chris Stark. Following this, the crowd will be energized by the Hot House Flowers and Rick Parfitt Jnr’s rock performances. Headlining with a DJ set, Groove Armada will close the evening alongside Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who will delight attendees with her iconic pop hits.
