CamperVan Live Lounge Kent
Description
Escape to the Kentish countryside this May for CamperVan Live Lounge Kent — an off-grid, outdoor celebration of live music and great company spanning two magical nights. Set in the beautiful Loddington Farm orchards, home to Blue Reef Festival, the weekend brings together some of the UK’s finest independent singer-songwriters for intimate performances under open skies.
As the sun goes down, fairy lights start glowing, campfires crackling, and artists performing up close, creating a warm, welcoming, and unhurried atmosphere. There’s space to relax, connect, and properly listen, with music at the heart of it all.
Loddington Farm will be serving up their awesome venison and halloumi burgers, alongside drinks from our friends at Bar & Away — a charming horse box bar pouring cocktails and draught beer. Enjoy local cider and coffee by cafetière from our second stage, 'Chuck'.
Lineup
Laura Reznek
"I cut my teeth in those dark alleyways/Oh how could I have been so easily swayed?" she sings on her latest full-length album The Sewing Room. Raw and honest, with an elevated DIY-aesthetic, Laura draws on contemporaries such as Nick Drake and folk legend Judee Sill to stare grief back in the face. With tender curiosity and the clarity afforded by retrospect, Laura makes sense of the familial characters in her life while reconstructing her own sense of agency. Appropriately, she created much of the album completely solo, rotating between acoustic instruments, vocals, analog synths, and the piano she inherited from her patrilineal grandmother, Zelda, to create an organic, lo-fi sound that is completely her own.
Lucy May Walker
Lucy May Walker is a Singer/Songwriter based in Folkestone, Kent. Lucy May began her career busking on the streets of London where she was discovered by Jeremy Vine who then invited her onto both his BBC Radio 2 & TV Talk shows. Lucy has supported the likes of Texas, Wet Wet Wet & Lucy Spraggan as well as selling out numerous shows of her own across the UK. She hosts ‘Lucy May Walker’s Writer’s Round’ in Folkestone which regularly sells out.
Hannigan
Hannigan is a travelling singer-songwriter. True to his English-Irish roots, he has created a unique sound only identifiable as his own – acoustic soulful folk with distinct influences of carefree surf rock. His earnest and anecdotal writing style carries you like a backpack on an adventure; a journey of heartache, hope, and healing. Eyes will well, feet will tap, and heads will bop. After four years in the making, 2024 saw Hannigan release his debut album ‘I’ll Be Home Soon’
Kavalla
Kavalla is a fresh and exciting new Alt-Pop artist with gutsy vocals, a big message and a dark mood. Originally from Darlington, many years living in Hertfordshire and now currently residing in South East London, Kavalla has spent the majority of her life on the stage performing at festivals, venues and theatres all over the world. Kavalla is not afraid to write about some difficult topics and draws inspiration from some of her personal experiences. A captivating and incredibly emotive performer, this artist is definitely 'one to watch.’
Luke McAuley
Luke McAuley is a rising singer-songwriter in the UK's indie folk/pop scene, known for his soulful, raspy vocal and emotionally honest songwriting. Blending the rawness of folk with subtle indie-rock influences, Luke's music sits in the space between heartbreak and healing, capturing quiet, reflective moments with clarity and depth. He is currently working with London-based producer Colin Brain (The Sherlocks, Tom A. Smith) at STICKS Studios, a partnership that has helped shape Luke's sound with warm, stripped-back production that puts storytelling first. After a run of early releases in 2024, Luke began his most ambitious project to date releasing a new single every month throughout 2025. This chapter has seen him refine his sound with a series of emotionally charged, narrative-driven tracks that explore themes of love, loss and self-discovery. Each release builds on the last, forming a connected body of work that showcases his growth as both a writer and an artist.
Lucy Robinson
Meet Lucy Robinson, the alt-acoustic-pop artist from Northern Ireland. A dynamic performer who brings the emotion, groove and big feelings to her shows, Lucy's music is about connecting, sharing a feeling and having a boogie. She's captivating and ready to take on stages of any size, from a cosy pub to a full festival tent; she's done it all and her CV is far from ordinary. From festival main stage slots to performing for royalty; the BBC featured artist has been named "The Next Big Thing" by Crash Records and a "serious one-to-watch" by Hotpress Magazine. Winner of the prestigious Ed Sheeran Take the Stage competition, she was invited to perform for Prince William at the Dubai Expo. Lucy won Beat Herder's Got Talent 2024, securing herself a slot on the main-stage. She was then asked back in 2025 where she performed to a full tent. Based in Leeds, Lucy has just had a BBC Introducing Live Session with BBC Leeds and sold out 2 shows at the renowned Domino Club, she is clearly building a loyal fanbase who see themselves in her songs.
Tom Dibb
Whether you're watching Tom Dibb solo or with band, get set for a beautifully gutsy performance, as he tells his stories with undertones of blues, roots and folk, grown through a forest of soaring acoustic goodness. Tom has found his sound set firmly with an ever growing, loyal fan base that follow him not only across his home turf in the UK, but also across the Globe. Tom's world tour and self drive expedition in his 1989 vw camper-van all the way from the UK to Australia in 2016, lay the foundations and inspiration for much of his material. It fits into mainstream moulds, yet also satisfies a deeper creative taste.
