Lounge has established itself as a popular local festival.
Lounge on the Farm has become one of Kent’s most popular festivals over the last few years. The main stage, which is housed in a huge cowshed, smells included, gives it a laid-back country feel. This combined with three days of popular bands and usually sunny weather makes it a perfect local festival.
Over the past two years the festival has held a competition for local bands to play over the weekend. The competition allows fans of each selected local band to vote for the hopefuls online.
The competition launched last Friday. This year the competition is split into East and West Kent to allow as much new music in Kent as possible to be included.
Joe Strang lead singer of Zephyrus is hoping he will be able to play at the festival. “It’s a good platform for younger bands like us to get involved with festivals,” said Joe. “Hopefully we get enough votes to play the gig.”

The festival starts on the 9th of July so there is plenty of time to get voting. This years headliners have already been confirmed. Toots and the Maytals and Courtney Pine are among them.
Below are highlights of last year’s festival. This year is shaping up to be even better.
