Blissfields Festival, Hampshire’s award-winning and longest running boutique festival, is proud to announce details of it’s 2012 theme, as well as even more quality names for it’s 2012 bill. Having already confirmed The Noisettes, Patrick Wolf (playing a very special grand piano acoustic performance), Guillemots, Toddla T, and a wealth of acclaimed emerging talent, including Spector, Clock Opera, Theme Park, Toy, and Charli XCX, Blissfields can now announce the next wave of acts to join it’s 2012 bill:

Bastille,King Charles, Emily and the Woods, Tropics,Me,Jake Bugg,Torches,Marcus Aureliusness, K1r3y,with Road To Blissfields winners Bigtopp and Kamikaze Test Pilots, joining the event in it’s 12th year.
 
Among the new additions are beautiful songsmiths Bastille - fronted by Dan Smith who won 1st place in the 2012 International Songwriting Competition (Pop / Top 40 category), as voted for by musicians such as Tom Waits, Jeff Beck and Robert Smith, they’ve recently performed at The Great Escape festival to capacity crowds.
 
The dandy king of psych-pop King Charles returns to Blissfields, following the recent release of his critically acclaimed top 40 album Loveblood and a sold out UK tour.
 
Dubbed a “one to watch” by MSN in their 2012 poll, Australia’s Me have played live to over 50,000 people since landing in the UK, honing their live show into a stadium-ready performance comparable to Muse, Queen or Green Day.
 
The haunting Emily And The Woods also return to Blissfields, with festival favorites and BBC championed Jake Bugg, and described by the Guardian as “Caribou-tiful”,Tropics complete this next announcement, with some names still to unveil for Blissfields’ sporting summer.
