Organisers of Standon Calling have revealed the festival’s second headliner and a raft of acts appearing on the 2020 line-up.

Hot Chip, Maribou State, Craig David TS5, Sister Sledge, Ella Eyre, Everything Everything, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Grandmaster Flash will all appear at the boutique festival taking place in the Hertfordshire countryside.

They will join the previously announced headliner Primal Scream at the four-day extravaganza at the stunning private grounds of Standon Lordship from Thursday, July 23 to Sunday, July 26.

Standon Calling celebrates its 15th birthday party this summer and hosts 'The Party of All Time', promising music, creativity, food, comedy, culture, and wellbeing for all.

The Friday night headliner will be revealed shortly.

Festival director Alex Trenchard said: "Over the last 15 years we have brought the very best in emerging and established talent to Standon Calling.

"Our 15th birthday is no exception and I'm delighted that Hot Chip are joining Primal Scream as our second headliner.

"A landmark reunion wouldn't be the same without some old friends flying in from all over the place and it's great to be welcoming back Ella Eyre, Everything Everything and my personal favourites !!! (Chk Chk Chk)."

Alongside epic headliners Primal Scream and Hot Chip, festival-goers can expect an array of crowd-pleasing bangers from 7 Days and Fill Me In star Craig David presents TS5, a disco throwdown from 70s We Are Family icons Sister Sledge, and for the indie lovers, Everything Everything will be bringing their unique brand of hyperactive synth-pop to the party.

Also joining the mighty line-up are Fat White Family, Ella Eyre, Kojey Radical, pop royalty Sophie Ellis-Bextor with support from Sink the Pink, and DJ sets from the likes of Maribou State, Grandmaster Flash and Joey Negro.

The woodland dance stage Electric Willows will be back hosting the likes of Maribou State (DJ) and disco legends Joey Negro and Greg Wilson.

Continuing the party after hours, the iconic Cowshed venue will be returning for 2020, offering a mix of club takeovers from the likes of Hospitality on Friday and a Saturday night garage takeover with old school legends Artful Dodger and Matt Jam Lamont and up-and-coming artists such as Conducta, 24 Hour Garage Girls and Barely Legal.

Sunday will host some old favourites like Grandmaster Flash, DJ Yoda (AV show) and DJ Format.

Groove Garden will also be back with pumping electronic acts and some of the hottest international DJs.

The party will live on until 4am for those wanting to dance well into the night.

The Standon party doesn't stop at the music - as well as a killer line-up, friends and families will be immersed in a weekend of wondrous entertainment and creative activities for all ages.

Adults and parents can get their comedy laughs with jokers Ed Gamble, Zoe Lyons, Lloyd Langford and a host of the UK's finest talent.

For the little ones, have a boogie with Dick & Dom's DJ Battle and Fromage Juniors Disco, go back in time with Horrible Histories 'The Worst of Barmy Britain' or dive into a fantasy world at Drag Queen Story Hour.

For the mini thrill-seekers, go back to your roots at the Woodland Tribe, with the new adventure playground and tree swings or get your adrenaline fix at the new giant zip line.

Festival founder Alex Trenchard added: "My kids can't wait for the return of Horrible Histories' The Worst of Barmy Britain.

"What is definitely Barmy is that even after all this, we're still set to announce one of my favourite acts in early March.

"Standon Calling 2020 is set to be the best year and very much 'The Party of All Time'. See you then!"
