We are extremely chuffed to be able to add a handful of phenomenal new names to the bill for the first ever Caught by the River Thames Festival in August.

Joining Low, Super Furry Animals, Beth Orton, Mulatu Astatke, Kate Tempest, Sun Ra Arkestra and a host of Caught by the River regulars will be Britain’s premier psych-and-roll band Temples (playing one of only two UK festival shows this year), South Algerian five-piece Imarhan, mind-expanding girl group Stealing Sheep and the genius broadcaster, writer and one-time punka Lauren Laverne who will interview Chris Packham on stage about his incredible forthcoming autobiography Fingers in the Sparkle Jar (described by Robert Macfarlane as “like nothing else I know… a flickering vat of life itself.”).

Tickets are on sale now (if you’re in London at the Caught by the River Social Club on the weekend, you can buy tickets without a booking fee).
