context_page_description: Hop Farm Music Festival is an annual music festival at The Hop Farm Country Park in Paddock Wood, Kent, England, first created by John Vincent Power of Festival Republic. After its first year it was nominated at the UK Festival Awards with "Best New Festival".
  It came about after a survey was conducted among festival fans with the general feeling revealed to be that they always felt the lowest in priority and importance. The survey resulted in the first Hop Farm Festival in 2008, as a 30,000 crowd capacity festival centered on folk and independent music, with a specific aim of a return to "back to basics" organisation with a no sponsorship, no branding, no VIP attitude. Children under twelve, since the festival's inception, have had free entry. In May 2013 it was announced the sixth festival had been cancelled. On 4–6 July 2014 the Hop Farm hosted an all-new Hop Farm Music Festival 2014 which featured headline artists including Brian Wilson, Ray Davies, James Blunt and Grace Jones. The 2015 Hop Farm Music Festival and future events run by The Hop Farm are no longer related to John Vincent Power.
context_section_description: The 2011 event returned during its normal two-day slot in the first weekend of July. 6 weeks prior to the opening date of the festival, organisers announced an extra date to the festival to be headlined by Prince. The addition of an extra date 3 months after the initial tickets were put on sale created much anger towards the festival for misleading ticket buyers yet again, after a similar incident the previous year.
  2011 saw the return of the well received Camp Acoustic stage. Brother and Bones, Tankus the Henge, Never the Bride and Nathan Mercado, among others, all performed during the weekend.
