Set in the stunning surroundings of a 16th Century Hertfordshire mansion house and with an ultra-intimate capacity of just 3,000 people, Standon Calling is undoubtedly one of the zeniths of the festival season.
Defying its small scale, Standon 2009 has a colossal line-up with Friendly Fires, Ladytron, Hawkwind, The Whip, Tony Christie, The Rumble Strips, VV Brown, Golden Silvers, Mumford & Sons and many more all gracing the festival's stages.
Better still, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, this year Standon has a retro space theme to take you back to 1969.
Just a 35 minute train ride from central London, the friendly, unique festival is truly not to be missed.
