Now celebrating its 10th year, End Of The Road is a folksier alternative to more prominent names. It offers a mecca for foodies (all organic, all local) and lovers of folk and dreamy rock tunes can expect a perfect blend of the tranquil and the lively.

The real-ale soaked Dorset gathering has attracted big names this year, with headliners including shoegazers The War On Drugs who arguably released 2014’s finest record, Lost In The Dream and Sufjan Stevens, who has penned Carrie And Lowell, a contender for 2015’s. They’re joined by Australian psychedelics Tame Impala, who have their hotly anticipated 3^rd release coming in July.

There’s a refreshing vibe to the festival and campers are given the space and freedom that the range of music merits. There are no VIP areas so performers are often seen wandering the site. My visit to the festival in 2013 involved a conversation with members of Parquet Courts about the best beer on offer. They were just chilling by the Cider Bus. Yes, there’s a Cider Bus.

The range of performers is staggering but the must-see acts at 2015’s festival include Future Islands, who you’ll know and most-likely love from that Letterman performance. There’s Laura Marling whose soft acoustic tunes are accompanied by a beautifully chilling voice. Superstar slacker Mac DeMarco and afrobeat outfit Django Django bring the perfect hazy summer soundtrack. Alvvays create fuzzy indie-pop in abandon while the legendary Mark Lanegan offers a darker touch.

Torres has a spell-binding rawness in her craft of moody indie-rock tunes. Ought are an exhilarating art-punk band from Montreal, Canada. Wistful folk from Jessica Pratt sounds as if it is lifted straight of the mid-'60s and Happyness’ dreamy lo-fi sound is a mesmeric treat.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg in the range of sun-soaked up-and-coming gems on offer and with wild Peacocks roaming the festival site without a care in the world, End Of The Road 2015 is a truly unique festival. V-Festival it’s not.

Although no set date, Psychedelic rockers Tame Impala have revealed that there will be a new album released later this year.

Following up from 2012's Lonerism, the latest LP has been confirmed by Consequence of Sound via an email from the band’s management company, Spinning Top Music.

The band's keyboardist Jay Watson implied last year that their new material would sound "less rock and more electronic". So not to reveal everything he went on to say that "It's probably gonna be less rock again and more electronic, even more than the last one. It's gonna be awesome, everything he [frontman Kevin Parker] does is awesome." 

Parker has been keeping himself busy with the release of single 'Daffodils', his collaboration with Mark Ronson. You can expect to hear more from Parker with the release of Ronson's latest album out at the end of this month (Sunday January 25). He lends his vocals to a further two tracks  ‘Leaving Los Feliz’ and ‘Summer Breaking’.
