George Ezra and Paloma Faith will be joining Bryan Ferry as headliners at this year's Standon Calling.

George Ezra is one of the biggest-selling breakthrough names of the decade, since the release of his debut album ‘Wanted On Voyage’ he has been touring the planet. Born and raised just down the road in Hertford, his headline set at Standon Calling is destined to be a tender and electric homecoming. An unmissable festival moment, George Ezra at Standon Calling will be a coming-together of friends, family and fans for a crowning set from Hertfordshire’s favourite son.

Commenting on headlining Standon Calling, George Ezra said:

“This will be the closest to a homecoming gig that we have ever performed! I have family and friends that are at the festival every year and they absolutely love it, I hope me performing doesn’t change that for them… I was very flattered to be asked to play by the guys at the festival and can’t wait to get up on stage. Does anybody know what the fancy dress theme is this year?”

Paloma Faith has become a British institution in a very short period od time, unafraid to speak out and thriving with individuality. With a live show that has seen arenas bow down in awe, Paloma Faith is the perfect headliner to kick off the weekend at Standon Calling, with what’s sure to be a tour de force of an artist at the peak of her powers.

Other artists announced today include, Goldfrapp with their immediate synth-pop sounds which have pushed the boundaries of electronic music for nearly 20 years.  Southend's finest The Horrors will be bringing their electro post punk hooks to Herffordshire.  Hot on the release of their third album ‘Marble Skies’ Django Django will bring their diverse and thrilling cuts to Standon Calling.

Also added to the bill are: Maribou State, Tokio Myers, The Amazons, Little Simz, Marmozets, Pale Waves, Shame and many more.

Standon Calling offers a weekend of music, arts, fun and pure festival joy. The festival has an eclectic, inclusive and creative programme, carefully curated to reflect the diverse interests of the crowds.

By day, expect music to touch your heart, make you think, make you mosh and make you dance. Indulge with award-winning food & drink, settle in to enjoy acclaimed comedy, or entertain the whole family with activities and performances for all ages. Dip into the swimming pool or take in the dog show.

Speaking about the raft of names announced along with plans for this year’s event, Founder and Festival Director Alex Trenchard said:

“Only 15 minutes from where George Ezra grew up, Standon 2018 will set the scene for the homecoming show to end all homecoming shows! Brilliantly, Paloma Faith returns to Standon - nearly a decade on - as an international star and household name with her spectacular focus on performance. They both join the legendary Bryan Ferry, who will be celebrating 45 years of Roxy Music. And that's just the headliners! Goldfrapp, The Horrors, Little Simz, Tokio Myers, Pale Waves, The Amazons - our lineup this year is one I am truly proud of and very excited to see this July with the amazing Standon Calling audience.

And, of course, there's much more to come... “
