Battling banjos, booming basses and furious fiddlers will descend on Lymington from Friday 20 to Saturday 21 May 2016 as the Rustic Stomp music festival takes place at Vickers Hill.
Rustic Stomp is Hampshire’s first and only music festival paying homage to the golden age of rock and roll, rockabilly, skiffle, country, blues and more.
Johnny Cash, Lonnie Donegan and Muddy Waters fans alike will delight in this small but perfectly formed family friendly festival in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, just a ten minute walk away from Lymington Town Rail Station.
Rattle down the Rock Island Line with the likes of renowned Johnny Cash tribute band ‘Cash Converted’ and be prepared for some quirky monkey business as legendary local skiffle group ‘Quinns Quinney’ put a whole new skifflised spin on well loved hits from Disney’s ‘King of the Swingers’ to Britney Spear’s smash single ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’.
Music starts 5.30pm on Friday 20 May with Hampshire’s own musical punk heroes ‘Farmageddon’ playing a cutting edge mix of folk, punk and protest songs. The feisty five will be followed by the likes of ‘Screamin Miss Jackson’ and ‘The Severed Limb’, while Saturday will see bands such as ‘Grizzly and the Grasshoppers’, the ‘Trav Cats’ and ‘Blackwater County’ take centre stage.
The Lymington Rustic Stomp music festival will take place on Undershore Road, Vickers Hill, SO41 5QA. Tickets cost £35 and include entry for both Friday and Saturday as well as free camping. Those aged under 5 years or over 90 years qualify for free entry. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Beatnik Emporium on Above Bar Street in Southampton or online by visiting www.wegottickets.com/f/9916.
