In what will be one of the first festivals to return with full capacity in nearly two years, Standon Calling has confirmed that its 2021 festival will be going ahead this July – returning to the fields of Standon Lordship between July 22nd-25th with an incredible full festival experience for all ages.
Cementing its place as the beloved festival weekend perfect for the whole family, Standon Calling 2021 is set to deliver a formidable programme of global superstars, incredible live favourites, a who’s who in the best new sounds coming from around the UK, peerless cultural entertainment and enough fun to dive into at every turn. Welcoming an eager festival audience back into the fields where countless memories are made and moments that last a lifetime unfold – Standon Calling 2021 is set to be a true love letter to the spirit and joy of festivals. Speaking about the news that Standon Calling 2021 will be taking place this summer, Founder and Festival Director Alex Trenchard said: “To be able to confirm that Standon Calling 2021 will be taking place this year is something that brings me incredible joy. We are incredibly grateful to our staff, artists and suppliers who have worked tirelessly with us to get to this point. The Government’s impressive vaccination record, the Event Research Programme Data published at the end of last week (which showed there were no substantial outbreaks at phase one of the test events) and yesterday’s comments made by the new Secretary of State for Health & Social Care that July 19th will be the “end of the line” for Covid restrictions have encouraged us to go for it. For the past four months we have been working with colleagues at Certific (a leading COVID testing verification app) and Imperial College London in the development of a Covid transmission risk assessment system that has been positively received by our Local Public Health Authority. We are looking forward to sharing full details with ticket holders over the coming weeks and are confident that it will help keep everyone safe. Most of all we want to thank our Standon Calling family who have stuck with us and supported the festival through this time. This year’s festival is in honour of you – and we think we may have just pulled together the best Standon Calling lineup of all time. I can’t wait to be back in front of that Main Stage, and I look forward to dancing together with you all once again. Bring it on!” |
