The coronavirus wiped out the 2020 festival season --and live music as we knew it -- around the world, but with vaccines being approved there is hope things could start to get back to normal next year. UK festival End of the Road is certainly hopeful as they've announced that, fingers crossed, the 2021 edition will happen September 2-5 in Larmer Tree Gardens in Dorset.
Many of the artists who were supposed to play the 2020 edition will be back, including Pixies, King Krule, Big Thief, Bright Eyes, Aldous Harding, Little Simz, Whitney, The Comet is Coming, Field Music, Andy Shauf, and Girl Band, and new additions for 2021 include Perfume Genius, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Tune-Yards, Songhoy Blues, Julianna Barwick, Billy Nomates, Sorry, and The Goon Sax.
Whether you're ready to pull the trigger or not, tickets are on sale. Check out the full 2021 End of the Road lineup below.
