“A temptingly cheap, tasty one-dayer” – The Telegraph

Lemonfest returns for the 6th annual instalment of its 1 day festival (with camping) and will once again take place at Newton Abbot Racecourse 30th May 2015. Lemonfest, is one of the premiere boutique festivals in the UK and a fast-growing staple of the festival circuit. With a reputation for line-ups and attractions that punch well above their weight, they scooped four nominations at the recent 2014 UK festival awards!

Leading the charge are legendary crowd favourite, DJ Yoda who will scratch, mix and cut & paste through his new ‘Breakfast of Champions’ live show, and multiple award winning ska, dub, hip-hop, breakbeat, punk, drum & bass outfit, Dub Pistols. The UK’s esteemed scruffy sage, Beans on Toast will deliver his inimitable folk sermons, and lyrical Dream Pop specialists, Matthew & Me will provide chilled out electro bliss. Other acts announced are Seven Cities, plus local talents, King Tuts Revenge and A$$ Munch. MORE HEADLINE ACTS ARE TO BE ANNOUCED SOON!!

The festival remains completely self-sufficient and independent, sticking true to its original ethos of having no major sponsors or VIP area. BBC Introducing will once again be supporting the ‘Locally Grown’ stage with live broadcasts and interviews. This stage has become an important factor which has allowed the festival to maintain popularity and cultivate the best local bands.

Despite the opportunity to expand in physical size and crowd capacity, organisers are keen to keep the event small and perfectly formed in order maintain their unique offering. Organiser Matt Freemantle, says; 

"We can hardly believe that this will be the 6th year of Lemonfest, but are extremely proud to be running a truly independent music festival in the heart of the West Country. We're very excited about this year, and with our strongest line-up to date we aim to deliver the best boutique festival experience in the UK. Saturday 30th May can't come soon enough!"
