UK festival End of the Road held its 2024 edition last weekend at the bucolic Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire/Dorset. The boutique fest, which started in 2006, featured a lineup that included IDLES, Slowdive, Bill Ryder-Jones, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Fever Ray, Sleater-Kinney, Jockstrap, CMAT, Lankum, Richard Hawley, Yo La Tengo, Mdou Moctar, Baxter Dury, Cornelius, Mercury Prize winners English Teacher, Nation of Language, Ty Segall, Joanna Sternberg, Gruff Rhys, Camera Obscura, The Lemon Twigs, Laetitia Sadier, Palehound, Water From Your Eyes, Nourished by Time, billy woods, Militarie Gun, and more. Here’s more from The Guardian:

It’s refreshing to experience a festival that, almost 20 years into its existence, still seems ready to evolve and not just be content recycling the same old stuff, yet retains a real sense of identity and personality. In this climate, that is something to be cherished and celebrated. We are awash with identikit events sponsored by the same companies, bringing the same lifeless vibe offered up as extortionate “experiences” packages, while huge companies own and control an enormous chunk of the entire festival (and ticketing) market. By contrast, this level of thoughtful, nuanced, and frequently surprising curation is a sincere pleasure, one reciprocated by artists and audience alike.
