Hop Farm back - in stereo?

The Hop Farm Festival, cancelled in 2013 due to poor ticket sales, will return in 2014 with Vince Power back at the helm.  Power reclaimed the Hop Farm Festival brand after the collapse of his Music Festivals plc. However, the event will not be at its original home, with Power looking for a new location for the event in Kent. Noting reports that another festival is now being planned at his event's original site, Power's company said in a statement yesterday: "Reports suggest that another festival is to be hosted on The Hop Farm Family Park site, called the Hop Farm Music Festival, but this event has no association with the well established Hop Farm Music Festival. This is an unfamiliar event organised by an entirely different promoter and team. Despite the naming of this event it is not in any way connected with the esteemed Hop Farm Music Festival".
