Hop Farm Festival 2010
2nd-3rd July 2010
The third Hop Farm Festival saw a near capacity crowd return to the Hop Farm Centre in Kent as the festival's line up included a series of well established acts with two of the biggest names in song writing; Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
The festival, which is organised by Vince Power, promotes itself as sponsorship and brand free in a bid to differentiate itself from other festivals.
On the Friday the crowds were treated to an excellent performance from Blondie which was then followed by Van Morrison.
On the Saturday the 35,000 near capacity crowd came to see one of the most famous performers of all time, Bob Dylan. Throughout the afternoon and early evening the crowd were treated to sets from Pete Doherty, Seasick Steve, Mumford and Sons and Ray Davies before Bob Dylan took to the stage.
Specialized Security were contracted as the sole supplier to provide the security and crowd management operation for both the festival's arena and campsite.
