Reading-based Folk singer Laura Marling is one of the final two acts to be confirmed for this year’s mainstage at the one-off Day At Hop Farm Festival, headlined by Neil Young on July 6.

The final mainstage act now billed to play at the new Kent event is Los Angeles based group Everest, a new collective group featuring Sebadoh’s former drummer Russell Pollard as the frontman and other musicians who have previously played in bands as different as the Folk Implosion and the Watson Twins.

These artists join the previously announced cracking line-up that is Primal Scream, Supergrass and My Morning Jacket.

Rufus Wainwright and the Guillemots will also be bringing some pop melody to Paddock Wood come July.

The 30,000 capacity Hop Farm crowd is the brainchild of festival entrepreneur Vince Power, who has previously worked on Reading, Glastonbury and Beniccassim festivals
