Overview
Legendary singer-songwriter Patti Smith has joined the bill for End of the Road Festival, thus completing the lineup for 2012.
"We have been huge fans of Patti Smith's work for many years and to have her finally play our festival is frankly surreal and a real honour," said the festival's directors. "There are few musicians whose names alone can evoke such a vast array of images, sounds and stories as Patti Smith's".
This year's lineup is led by Grizzly Bear, Grandaddy, Midlake, Beach House, Tindersticks and Dirty Three, plus Mark Lanegan Band, Van Dyke Parks, The Low Anthem and Graham Coxon. Comedy includes Joe Lycett, Doc Brown, Liam Mullone and Robin Ince.
