SEE THE BEST LOCAL AND NATIONAL TALENT AT

create FESTIVAL

Sunday 27th July

With an estimated 13,000 visitors throughout the day, Ashford Create Festival is one of the
South East’s biggest free music festivals. Last year there was even more reason to celebrate, as
Create turned 18 years old! Now that Create is all grown up and heading towards its 19th
birthday, on Sunday 27th July, it promises to continue showcasing the best of local and national
talent in the glorious surrounds of Victoria Park. Photos © Peter Fry
Create has come a long way
since its origins, and now hosts
four live music stages, national
headline acts, spoken word
events, street performers, local
market stalls, food vendors,
two beer tents, children’s play
areas and rides.
Last year saw UK band Dodgy
headline the festival on Sunday
night with Charlatan’s Tim Burgess performing an intimate set at the Create
Friday Night Soundcheck at Revelation St. Mary’s.
Nizlopi

Ashford Create Festival 2014 promises to be even better with a Saturday Night
Sound Check with Toploader, and Nizlopi headlining the free festival in the park
on the Sunday.
Ashford’s own Intermission Project has been revealed as the main stage support,
and will be joined by the likes of ‘fip folk’ act Coco & the Butterfields, One Day
Elliot and Ben Russell and the Charmers.
The new Revelation St Mary’s stage will feature a compelling mix of spoken word
‘slams’ and music from High Tide, Ted Clarke’s Brother Bare, and Orfila.
The Right Track Music stage will once again feature a host of up and coming
local talent, headlined by Old Town Souls, while the Create and Canterbury
College DJ stage will be laying down some serious beats from the likes of Craig
C and Adam Dowling.
But the fun doesn’t stop – or start – in Victoria Park! Hit Brit band Toploader will
open the weekend with a one-off show at St Mary’s Church on Saturday 26th
July, supported by Ashford acts James Kirby and Pip Bowers and the Family
Bones.
