BARN ON THE FARM TAKES PLACE AT OVER FARM IN GLOUCESTER FROM 29TH JUNE TO 2ND JULY 2023
Barn on the Farm is one of the UK’s leading independent music festivals that is home to both the indie big-hitters and next year’s breakout stars. Offering attendees a weekend utopia of new music set in the idyllic setting of Over Farm, Barn – as it’s known by the regulars – is a festival that encourages collaboration and kinship by bringing together a community of artists and festival-goers. A place where friendships are born and songs have started life, Barn On The Farm continues to provide a cultural hub for new talent. Entering its second decade Barn has solidified itself as the festival that artists and revellers remember, and continue to return.
Today, due to the announcement of Lizzy McAlpine’s rescheduled UK visit, Barn On The Farm is set to welcome new Friday headliner, Aussie alt-rock band Gang of Youths. Since the release of their debut album, The Positions, which included breakout single ‘Magnolia’, Gang of Youths have gone from playing intimate pub gigs in Sydney to selling out stadiums and arenas across the globe. Following the release of their latest album angel in realtime., the band have confirmed themselves as ‘one of Australia’s biggest bands’ (NME) having played three sold-out shows in London last year (O2 Academy Brixton and Outernet, twice) and will now be bringing their electrifying live show to Gloucester at this years’s Barn on the Farm. They will be joining the BRIT and NME award-winning, Ivor Novello and BBC Sound of 2022 nominated Holly Humberstone and New Jersey rock band, fronted by the eight-time Grammy Award-winning record producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff, Bleachers – who will both be playing their very first festival headline slots – as Barn’s headliners, with a special secret headliner booked for the Intimate Thursday too.
Also announced to join the bill this year is a new special guest FIZZ (@yourfavebandfizz). With bandmates who are still yet to be officially revealed but have already been dubbed an ‘indie supergroup’ the band will be making their first festival appearance at Barn since their debut at The Great Escape last month. They will join the likes of DYLAN, Olivia Dean, The Staves, Rachel Chinouriri, The Big Moon, Nieve Ella, FEET, Caity Baser, corook, Matilda Mann, Beaux, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, 86TV’s, Lily Moore, Tommy Lefroy, Thomas Headon, swim school, Flyte, Wunderhorse, Stone, Katie Gregson-MacLeod, flowerovlove + some more secret special guests for Barn on the Farm’s twelfth year.
Barn On the Farm takes place from 29th June to 2nd July 2023. With intimate Thursday tickets selling out back in August, there are now only the last few remaining full weekend tickets and limited Friday, Saturday and Sunday Day tickets back on sale. There are also the last few Glamping packages back on sale.

In its twelfth year, Barn On The Farm has grown from an intimate friends and family event to one of the UK’s most exciting and groundbreaking new music festivals, giving the biggest and most successful British artists including Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi, as well as breakout US stars like Maggie Rogers, their first ever festival headline slots. Such is the spirit and essence of Barn On The Farm, artists return to the festival year after year, making multiple appearances in ever-growing slots with returning artists having included Griff, Maisie Peters, Easy Life and The Staves. Barn finds artists early in their career and champions them all the way through the festival stages, providing a space of collaboration at Over Farm in Gloucester.
Last June, Barn On The Farm welcomed over 3000 festival goers to the farm, with a lineup that spanned some of the most enduring names in British music, including Bombay Bicycle Club and special guests The Vaccines, as well as incredible new talent including Easy Life, Beabadoobee and Griff. Capturing the spirit and ethos of Barn – a festival that has more in common with artist-led gatherings of the 1970s than modern, heavily branded events – every year Barn On The Farm encourages artist collaboration with the “Farm Band”. Getting six artists together to reimagine and rearrange their songs, last year Holly Humberstone, Dylan Fraser, Flyte, Maisie Peters, JP Saxe and Rob Milton collaborated for a surprise performance on The Wooden Barn Stage. Alumni of Barn include Sam Fender, Maggie Rogers, Wolf Alice, Tom Misch, Dermot Kennedy, George Ezra, Ed Sheeran, Hozier, The Staves & more.
