Detroit folk singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens will play his first ever UK festival show at this year’s End of the Road festival in Dorset, after being confirmed as one of the festival's three headliners..
Stevens is joined by Australian acid rockers Tame Impala, and The War on Drugs – who came in third in our Albums of 2014 list – at the top of the bill for the festival’s tenth anniversary outing. Future Islands, Sleaford Mods, Django Django and BC Camplight also feature among the first clutch of names confirmed for September’s festival.
