Lounge on the Farm 2008 Line-up
Whether its block-rocking beats, blissful melodies or just some good ol' guitar action with our choice of stages you'll be sure to find just what you need down on the farm.
FARM FOLK
A new identity for our Arabesque tent this year, which has grown up, got bigger, and changed its name to the Farm Folk tent. This is the place to be for horizontal days and a hoot of a night as we give you everything from the finest acoustic acts through to rockabilly, surf and bluegrass as the days get longer.
Sporting a much bigger capacity this year, with extra chill out areas at the back of the tent and its very own bar, Farm Folk is becoming a more prominent part of the LOTF experience. Don't miss it.

THE FURTHUR TENT
Most recent addition to the LOTF set-up in 2007, the Furthur tent, main focus of the Furthur field was a large hit last year with young and old. Featuring a line-up steeped in jazz, psychedelia, funk and folk, the Furthur Tent is our doff of the hat to Canterbury's rich musical heritage and the massively influential Canterbury sound. Whether you choose to lounge in the outdoor planted garden and appreciate the amazing oil lamped lightshows or get down the front for a freak-out, make sure you go Furthur than ever before on the farm this year...
THE COW SHED
Out with the bovine and in with the bass bins as we transform the centre piece of Merton Farm - quite literally the Cow Shed, into a mecca for the moshers, a haven for the hearing - the LOTF main stage.
Very much keeping its true colours, the Cow Shed does what it says on the tin, although this year the stage will be taking shape as a Victorian theatre. On a farm. Gotta love it.
So from the biggest Indie acts to the cream of the dance scene, from reggae to rock, if its big names you've come down to the farm for, we'll see you in the shed...
