A fine yarn indeed...

The Lounge On The Farm's history, like so many romantic tales, begins with a number scribbled on the back of a fag packet. A chance meeting between 'Lounge Original' Sean and the son of a farmer as they watched a band perform aboard a flat bed lorry in the middle of Canterbury in the spring of 2004 is where it all began. Ideas were exchanged. A telephone number was hastily jotted on a pack of Marlboro's. And the rest as they say is history! But we couldn't cop out on a history page that easily. Here's what we've done since that fateful day...

2010

2010 was a stellar, sun drenched three day extravaganza for LOTF. A wonderfully eclectic line-up saw the likes of Martha Reeves, Example and Toots and the Maytals rocked Merton Farm to its core, whilst our superb green credentials saw the Sustainability award come our way once more!

2009

in 2009 Merton Farm was packed to a capacity 5000 people - rocking out to more entertainment, a brand new non-musical field (The Meadows) and a UK Festival Award winning line-up that included The Horrors, Roots Manuva, Edwyn Collins and much much more..

2008

The 2008 festival saw around 4500 attendees making hay at Merton Farm on 11, 12 & 13 July. Again blessed with some lovely weather (well, for Saturday & Sunday at least!) the Farm rocked to the sounds of The Coral, Mystery Jets, Art Brut, Holy F*ck, Bonobo and of course a very special appearance from The New York Dolls.

2007

Lounge On The Farm 2007 stepped up a gear, as we set out the stall for the future. The Super Furry Animals kicked things off with a bang on Friday night, and we finished with an absolute storm after Alabama 3 across three beautiful days of sunshine and the sounds of now.

2006

In the Summer of 2006, Merton Farm hosted the first ever Lounge On The Farm. Featuring a phenomenal amount of local talent on 4 stages and some cracking headline acts, including The Egg, The View, DJ Andy Smith, Nizlopi and Vincent Vincent & The Villains the blisteringly hot weekend was a lovely introduction to Lounge On The Farm.
