The Independent will return again with a stage on Laundry Meadows

Years & Years and Bloc Party are among the headliners for next year’s Standon Calling festival.

Returning for its 17th edition, the 2023 Boutique Music & Arts Festival nestled in the Hertfordshire Countryside will run between 20 and 23 July.

Additional headliners include Self Esteem and legendary pop band The Human League.

The four-day weekend’s lineup will also feature concerts from Anastacia, Confidence Man, Dylan, Squid, Katy B, KT Tunstall, Melanie C, Sad Night Dynamite and Lynks.

More artists will be announced in due time.

Tickets for the summer event are on sale now and can be purchased on Standon Calling’s website.

Not only can attendees expect a jam-packed weekend full of disco beats and headbanging rock, but they’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy the festival’s wholly immersive experience.

Once again, The Independent has partnered with the festival and will have its own stage at Laundry Meadows.

Last year, The Independent’s stage featured eclectic performances from Sleaford Mods, Kojey Radical, Self Esteem, Bimini and many more.
