Following a record-breaking 2018 weekend headlined by Paloma Faith, Hertford singer-songwriter George Ezra and Bryan Ferry, early bird tickets for next summer’s edition of Standon Calling will be available from Friday, August 3.
Standon Calling 2019 will take place at Standon Lordship in the Hertfordshire countryside from Thursday, July 25 to Sunday, July 28.
Speaking about this year’s biggest Standon Calling to date, founder and festival director Alex Trenchard said: “Every year, when we plan and work on Standon Calling, we always look to go one better than the year before.
“I can honestly say that this year was one of my favourite Standon Callings to date, feeling like a real coming together of so many people of all ages enjoying some incredible performances across the weekend.

“It was amazing to witness everyone having a great time, no matter the weather, and I can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a memorable year.
“From George Ezra’s amazing homecoming moment on Saturday night, to the incomparable Bryan Ferry and the sensational Paloma Faith, so many performances will stay with me from this year.
“It was brilliant to have you all at Standon Calling this year, and I promise you that 2019 will be even better. See you then!”
Standon Calling 2019 early bird tickets are on sale from Friday, August 3, with adult weekend tickets starting from £119.
