The Mainstage @ Lounge on the Farm 2011
At Lounge on the Farm in 2011 a huge new Main Stage was introduced onto the farm, which saw fantastic performances from Ellie Goulding, The Streets, The Vaccines, Example, Katy B and a superb weekend closing set from Echo and the Bunnymen. Here's to a bigger, better and more exciting mainstage in 2012!

The Meadows Bar
This year the Meadows Bar welcomed a weird and wonderful collection of DJ's and performers. From Adamski's acid tipped brilliance to Adrian Sherwood and Congo Natty's junglist revival, the Meadows Bar quickly became a favourite for people to relive their raving hey-day, or discover brilliant new DJ's. LOTF founder Sean Baker managed to cap off the weekend in style with a blistering set with his outfit ComfyPorn, in true Lounge style.
The Farm Folk
A major part of the Meadows Area, The Farm Folk stage does exactly what it says on the tin. Welcoming a strong line-up of Folk favourites and local musicians, the Farm Folk is the beating heart of what Lounge on the Farm stands for.
Johnny Flynn's headline performance was the stand-out show of a great year for the Farm Folk stage.
The Meadows Stage
The once called Further Stage was renamed in honour of the brand new Meadows area, and the lush new Meadows Stage saw an impressive array of artists across the weekend. A barn-storming show from Graham Coxon (and hailed by himself as his best of the summer) and a headline performance from Manchester rockers Cast was pipped by a hugel successful return to the festival scene from local Canterbury psychedelic prog band Caravan .
Young indie upstarts Gwilym Gold, La Shark and Greater Varsa gave us an exciting glimpse of the future of alternative pop music whilst bands like Syd Arthur showcased the fantastic Kent musical heritage
