The Long Road Festival returns this August (22nd to 24th August) and today the festival has announced a slew of new additions to the line-up as well as revealing the day splits.
The festival is headlined by Drake Milligan (Friday), Midland (Saturday) and James Bay (Sunday) and it will feature more than 80 artists across six stages. The new artists joining the line-up are:

Last month, the festival also unveiled its brand new sixth stage, The Hitching Post, which will host a number of various activities throughout the weekend, including line dancing sessions in collaboration with London Honky Tonk bar Lil’ Nashville, singer-songwriter rounds, panels and quizzes.
Named after the traditional gathering spot where neighbours tied their horses and came together to celebrate, the immersive new area takes inspiration both from iconic Texas venues like Gruene Hall, and converted community barns across the U.S., this rustic hotspot complete with wooden floors, vintage signage and festoon lighting is more than just a venue – it’s a hub for dancing, singing, and a place to catch up with old and new friends, alive with music, laughter and community.
