In addition to the new music acts Lounge On The Farm will bring a plethora of talent from the theatre and spoken word pursuits, including the ‘delicious denizens of the demi-monde’ and interactive cabaret-theatre collective Boom Boom Club, Fitzrovia Radio Hour and the award winning stand-up magician Piff the Magic Dragon with his notorious yet blend of dry wit and humour. There will also be cutting-edge comedy and political commentary from Andrew Maxwell, spoken word from Phil Kay and iconic London venue Roundhouse Camden proudly presents associate collectives ‘Rubix and Elephant’.

Additionally, there will be fun for all the family with the roller disco and tea dance and entertainment from Shakespeare’s Comedy along with plenty of other outdoor activities.
