In addition, Eurovision breakout star and favourite Number 2, Sam Ryder, will also be playing on Saturday July 2 at Barn’s main stage, as well as an intimate acoustic session on Thursday June 30 for fans.
On Friday July 1, Barn fan-favourite Amber Run is set to headline the Outdoor Stage, alongside Coach Party and Connie Constance.
The Thursday line-up will also include the likes of: Rhys Lewis, Violet Skies, Arthur Hill, Aquilo, Nell Mescal, Aaron Smith, Tommy Lefroy, Charlotte Clark, Shyfoot, Emie Nathan, Sophia Alexa, Sophie Mayn, Ewain Mainwood, Valencia Grace, Jack Kane, Cartwright and Greta Isaac.
To top it off, Thursday will include a secret headliner, whose identity will be kept under wraps until further notice.
Barn organiser Josh Sanger said: "2022 marks the start of the next phase for Barn on the Farm & we couldn’t be more stoked! We want to go even further towards deepening the connection between audience and artist.
“Barn is about way more than an artist performing on a stage; it’s about breaking down boundaries, creating a feeling of openness & freedom for everyone that attends and being bold with our decision making. For such a tiny festival we have continued to break the rules for what is possible and will continue to do that moving forwards.
“This year we are focusing on a strong mix of new & upcoming talent, alongside those that have already firmly created a culture through their music. It’s with great excitement that we’re announcing our final wave of artists!
“In 2019 we had Maggie Rogers and Lewis Capaldi joint headline our Sunday evening with George Ezra performing in secret too. This year on our Sunday we have Easy Life and Maisie Peters joint headline, with Holly Humberstone AND a special guest appearance from The Vaccines.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled. We firmly believe in championing upcoming artists that are breaking the mould, alongside already huge headliners.
Sanger continued: “Be prepared for a lot of surprises this year; we are changing the Barn site massively. We've spent the past couple of years reflecting on our favourite moments of Barn so far and the spaces that they were in - one thing we all loved was the quirkiness of our old main stage in the tin barn.
“So, this year we are over the moon to say that we have found a way to adapt that model and create a new version of the Main Stage & arena!! Alongside this we are moving everything around to focus on the gorgeous landscape of the farm.
“Our Outdoor Stage is moving to a new field surrounded by trees and the campsite, on what was previously a runway. It will have the setting sun in the distance. Don’t worry we’re keeping our Wooden Barn Stage.
“We will also have an incredible selection of food traders attending the festival to deliver mouth- watering options. So, get ready to sample some phenomenal produce. Don’t forget to visit Over Farm’s gorgeous farm shop too - their scotch eggs are to die for. See you there.”
Intimate show tickets on Thursday have officially sold out, leaving only a limited number of both Behind Barn Doors Friday and General Weekend tickets for buyers to grab.
