This year Maverick Festival will take place from Friday 30th June – Sunday 2nd July 2017, showcasing the most authentic and talented musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Set amongst the picturesque Victorian farm buildings of Easton Farm Park, the site is nestled deep in the Suffolk countryside, yet only two hours from London. The festival presents music performances, film & workshops and features over forty different artists, across five stages indoors and out.
Over the past decade the Maverick Festival organisers have stuck to what they believe in, presenting exciting and inspiring line-ups year after year. This year’s tenth anniversary programme will see some surprises but also many festival favourites returning to the Farm.
