A festival taking place in Cornwall this September has announced its latest headline act.
Little Orchard Festival today announced the addition of Brit Pop favourites Kula Shaker to join Feeder as festival headliners.
The Little Orchard Festival takes place in the Cornish countryside at Healeys Cyder Farm in Penhallow, Truro, from 9 – 11 September with a host of local, emerging and nationally-known acts.
This year the cider and music Festival will see both 90’s indie favourites take to the main stage for a Cornish party which includes a silent disco, barn dancing, traditional country games, BBC Introducing stage, 'Zen Den', camping and glamping, and a huge range of ciders from across the UK for revellers to enjoy.
The line-up also includes lots of local acts and emerging indie and alternative bands with the 1970’s chart topping cider farmers band, The Wurzels, on the main stage and some late-night shenanigans with some very funky Grannies to complete that South West festival.
Feeder are a Welsh rock band formed 1994 who released their first EP, Two Colours, in 1995, and have since enjoyed a string of hit songs including High, Buck Rogers, Tumble and Fall, Feeling A Moment and Just The Way I’m Feeling.
Feeder’s biggest-selling album was 2002’s Comfort In Sound and three of their albums have gone Platinum, with nine in the top ten album charts and Pushing The Senses in 2005 only just shy of being number one.

They’ve also won numerous Kerrang awards and were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
Since their debut album K, which shot to number one in 1996, retro pop/rock band, Kula Shaker, return to the festival circuit three decades later.
Behind them lies a by now epic tale of their own outlandish struggles and phases.
From their roots in the early 90s psychedelic circuit; the band mind-meld with a ninth century Indian mystic King who’s name they more or less adopted.
The balloon-in-a-gale flight to stardom with singles Tattva, Hey Dude, and Govinda ascending the charts and first album K selling in pop truckloads.
The band’s trip has wound through gonzo success, media sensationalism, and music industry hubris.
Kula Shaker are also returning with their new album, 1st Congregational Church of Eternal Love and Free Hugs, to do battle in the post-retro rock landscape over Cornwall this September.
Hailing from Somerset, The Wurzels became household names in the 70’s with their number one hit, I’ve Got A Brand New Combine Harvester, and number three hit, I am a Cider Drinker.
Still as popular today as ever on the festival and South West live music scene, where their coined phrase "ooh Arr" is still joyously used by Cider Drinkers everywhere!
Never a more appropriate band to complete the main stage line up at a Cider Festival!
The festival line up also includes; The Celtic Social Club, The Native, Land Of The Giants and Imperial Leisure.
