Farr Festival have just dropped an announcement detailing the first wave of artists for their 2018 weekend! The festival, which takes place in beautiful woodland less than an hour away from the hustle and bustle of London, plays host to a heady mix of artists showcasing the very best in electronic music across six stages.

Canadian producer Jacques Green will open the weekend, providing the first live set, followed by some Motor City vibrations from Detroit’s masked man DJ Stringray and Shanti Celeste.

Revered long-time selectors Prosumer, Tama Sumo, Lakuti, Dan Beaumont and newcomer Wes Baggaley are set to elevate Thursday’s emotions even higher, whilst Antepop, Ozel AB, Jacques Bon and Telfort bring things deeper than deep at the esteemed Campfire Headphase stage. Shadow City Soundsystem, Champagne Funk, GIRL and Kiara Scuro also step up to conclude Thursday’s offerings.

On Friday 6th July, “Original Nuttah" Shy FX warms up the crowd at the Factory before Mount Kimbie are joined by a full band to perform their recent krautrock inspired long player Love What Survives. Multi-instrumentalist Tom Misch also joins Friday’s proceedings with a live performance of his eagerly anticipated new album “Geography”, followed by a superlative DJ set from Daphni, the solo outing of Caribou.

Saturday brings together some of the most on-point names in electronic music with the inimitable Moodymann taking centre stage. Maribou State and George Fitzgerald will both perform live at The Factory, preceding dub aficionado Jah Shaka and Adrian Sherwood plus BBC Radio 1’s very own Benji B.
