The Open Here Orchestra will provide a fresh tinge of drama and depth to the already layered and syncopated synth rock anthems of Field Music, and this promises to be Sunday afternoon headline set like no other.

Over what is nearing a 20-year partnership in synth pop, Goldfrapp have remained consistent pioneers of electronic music.

Never safe, always surprising and still finding room in her set for euphoric classics like Ooh La La, and Strict Machine, the festival team are delighted to have finally secured Alison Goldfrapp – aka Goldfrapp – as Saturday night headliners for the Deer Shed Festival 9 line-up.

Drenge have confirmed a return to the live circuit for the first time in over a year, topping the Friday night main stage.
