Tinie Tempah joins line-up
11:24, 25 May 2011
Music icon Prince will be joined by Tinie Tempah on stage for the third and final day of this year's Hop Farm Music Festival.
The Sunday, July 3, line-up will also include Larry Graham & Graham Central Station plus Imelda May, organisers announced today.
It will be the first time Prince has played in the UK since he broke sales records at a 21-date residency at the O2 arena four years ago.
His hotly-anticipated appearance concludes the headline acts at this year's Paddock Wood festival which runs from Friday, July 1, to Sunday, July 3, and includes the Eagles on Friday and Morrissey on Saturday.
Tickets for the three-day event are available through Eventim.
Fans who have already purchased two day tickets will be able to upgrade their tickets to a third day for £40.
Vince Power, festival organiser, said: "The festival has one of the strongest and unique bills on offer his year, we have been very careful to program acts that you’re not going to see playing at every other festival.
"We always strive to bring the massive legends like Prince to the Kent countryside and complement them with the best of the contemporary acts and booking Tinie Tempah reflects this, I am exceptionally happy with this year's bill."
However, Chrissie Hynde has had to cancel her performance due to unforeseen circumstances.
Magazine are to take Chrissie’s place on the Saturday.
The festival has four music stages plus comedy and a campsite.
Tickets for the three-day event cost £170. Two day tickets (for either Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday) are priced at £130 and a single day ticket is £70.
Weekend Camping is £30 (Thurs – Mon) or £25 per day. Children under 12 go in for free (ticket has to be produced).
