These Are End Times and Dingus Khan at Homegrown Festival
This weekend, we will be heading into the wild west (of Suffolk) for the second annual Homegrown Festival, which Google Map tells me is in some uncharted region between Barrow and Higham. Festival heavyweights Dingus Khan are headlining the opening night and These Are End Times will be providing a Sunday afternoon feast of post rock for picnicking families.
Update: Mixed reactions to our antigen pals. According to our spies, Dingus Khan stormed their closing slot on Friday night with a set justifying their reputation as one of the country’s top live acts.
However, we only bothered to turn up in time for These Are End Times on Sunday and we watched them take to the stage mid-afternoon with a lot to live up to. A large crowd had gathered for festival creator Glen Moulds’s ice bucket challenge. It was always going to be tough to be more entertaining than a man tipping cold water over his head. The audience thought so too and immediately buggered off, leaving End Times to deliver one of their best sets to an empty field.
The crowd re-emerged 40 minutes later when rumours of a girl in tiny shorts on the other stage proved to be true and the fun resumed with TOWIE synth-pop automata F.O.X.
