Wiltshire’s biggest little festival is back in 2015.
Fieldview Festival
Wiltshire for its 9th year between August 6 - 9 at Scotland Hill in Chippenham. The former garden party that swelled to a 3000 capacity multi day event is returning with a new site and its charming mix of the UK`s best independent and grassroots music. The festival has raised over £25,000 pounds for local and international charities since its inception and has become a highlight in the local summer festival scene for music revellers of all ages from the surrounding area and across the UK.
Having gained a reputation for programming artists that are destined for bigger stages, for 2015 so far confirmed are punk folk road warriors Skinny Lister
The festival provides something for everyone, with its near compulsory fancy dress theme, yoga and tai chi workshops, boutique stalls and late night revelry. The festival mixes the cutting edge with the traditional, you can expect to see London's next underground sensation on the main stage while a sea shanty band rock the house across the track.
Festival organiser Dan Cameron explains the festivals music as, “We just try and programme the best quality music we can, we want to surprise people, we don`t want to just select one genre or style, we want people to discover their new favourite band or try a workshop they would never normally come into contact with.”

SKINNY LISTER
At a time when modern homegrown folk music often spells designer bearded, theme park Americanisation, Skinny Lister are a welcome throwback to earthier bands. Imagine a sea shanty, punk, rum soaked riot, and you're not far off the mark. Signed to Xtra Mile records, played the Vans Warp Tour and Fuji Rocks. They are real legends of the British Underground.
