New Model Army to headline Chagstock

The full Friday billing has beep confirmed, and is without question the biggest single-day line up in the festival's 9-year history. Headlining the main stage are the mighty alt-rockers, New Model Army. Their incredible stage presence, combined with a massive back catalogue of classic songs from across their 35 year history, makes them the ideal band to round off the first evening at Chagstock.

Joining NMA on the main stage line up are Neville Staple Band, whose frontman has been at the vanguard of Ska since joining the Specials back in 1978. He was also a core member of both Fun Boy 3 and The Special Beat, before forming his own band in 2004. BBC Folk Award nominee Martha Tilston, and Irish Music Award winning Celtic Fusion band Roving Crows are the final 2 Friday night main stage acts.

Headlining the indoor Marque stage are the wildly popular Plymouth based Folk-Gypsy-Pop band Mad Dog Mcrea. Winners of the South West Music Award for Best Album, their raucous live shows have gained them a massive following in the Westcountry and beyond. Police Dog Hogan are making a real name for themselves in the folk-bluegrass scene for both their studio material and their high energy live performances at festivals including Bestival, Larmer Tree and now Chagstock! Completing the line-up are the brilliant Folk-Rockers Rusty Shackle, whose 2013 album 'The Bones' reached number 13 in the iTunes singer/songwriter charts.

CHAGSTOCK FESTIVAL is one of the Westcountry's best-loved festivals. Set in 70 acres of farmland on the edge of Dartmoor, Chagstock is renowned for its stunning location, diverse line-up of artists and non-corporate, family friendly atmosphere. Chagstock showcases the very best music, food and entertainment that the Westcountry and the UK have to offer.

The full Saturday line up will be announced later in the Spring.
