Merton Farm saw temperatures of over 32 degrees and over 200 bands last weekend. More than 1,000 people took advantage of the gates opening early and got settled on the Thursday. Friday got off to a bang with highlights from Male Bonding and These New Puritans. By Saturday crowd numbers had ballooned to over 7,000 and a hit-packed set from Martha Reeves & The Vandellas who celebrated 50 years of Motown with the Cowshed’s biggest ever crowd, making for a true ‘I was there…’ moment. Sunday saw reggae from Toots & The Maytals on the mainstage.
Lounge On The Farm promoter Matt Gough said: “What an astounding weekend to celebrate our fifth birthday on the farm! We’re now well and truly making our mark as one of the South-East’s biggest and bestest summer events, and we’re ready to keep bringing the best music, best food and best farm animals to this corner of Kent for a good while yet.”
