Houghton Festival has announced the lineup for the 2018 edition. One of the hottest festivals in 2017, the event produced by Gottwood and Craig Richards returns to Houghton Hall from the 9th August to 12th August.
This year the lineup boasts a variety of electro, house and techno with a mixture of upcoming and established names. With a unique license allowing programming for both sunrise and sunset sets, this year will see Ricardo Villalobos, Andrew Weatherall, Calibre, DMX Krew, Radioactive Man, Saoirse, Shanti Celeste, Intergalactic Gary and Midland head to Norfolk.
Craig Richards comments: “By presenting music, art and a promised experience in an honest and restrained way meant those four days in Norfolk last year were not only magical but they were believable. The setting proved to be nothing but perfect. Our aim is to build on the foundations of last year’s success, but instead of growing we’re sticking to the story with minor improvements and a strong belief in the initial concept. Artists, DJ’s and musicians will be presented with meritocracy and equality. Everyone who performs will be given a chance to shine and everyone who attends will be treated to the best of everything.”
The art and sculpture programme will be revealed shortly. Houghton Estate also hosts a special exhibition from Damien Hirst this summer with some of his most recognisable sculptures installed in the gardens.
Tickets will be available on general sale on the 2nd February at 9am.
