Line-ups news and updates for Strummer of Love Festival 2012


When:
17-19 August 2012
Where: Somerset (precise location will be supplied with delivery of physical ticket.)
How much: £101 - £175

Strummer of Love is a brilliant looking, one-off festival which commemorates the 10 year anniversairy of the death of The Clash front man Joe Strummer.

This has sprung from their inafmous and beautiful campfire sessions which they have had at Glastonbury, Secert Garden Party and Endorse it In Dorset.

This has one of the best live music line-ups of any festival this year. Just look! And it's relatively cheap if you get earlybirds for £101. It's also a delightfully intimate 5000 capcity.

The Strummerville Charity (The Joe Strummer New Music Foundation) was set up by friends and family following his untimely death. Strummerville's work comes in many forms, from helping bands to record and release music to providing rehearsal spaces for aspiring artists.
