Shindig Festival announces full lineup for 2024
Shindig Festival returns to Dillington Estate, Somerset for four days of music, events and activities.
Taking place from May 23 to 26, the tenth anniversary special will be the last year the festival is held at Dillington Estate as the landowner’s future plans involve more farming than festivals.
The eleventh birthday will be celebrated in a different location.
