With the UK festival calender bulging under the weight of new summer festivals like never before, we are thrilled to have I Like Music’s support. They recognise we’re one of the few original, independent, family run festivals. Their company wide policy? Respect music. Created for everyone who likes music, they listen to everything they get sent. Find out more about them here.

I Like Music Editor Kim is looking for an artist or band from the UK or Ireland to open our Orchard Stage on Sunday! Whatever genre of music you create, however you create it, if you want to play the festival (or know someone who would):

Tweet @kimhillyard your band name and a link to your best track online (on YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, etc) with the hashtag #playnozstock
Artists have until Friday 31st May 2013 to submit their music. We will announce the opening act on 14th June 2013
