LARMER TREE FESTIVAL has announced its first two headliners that will be opening and performing at next year's event. Award winning singer, songwriter and BBC Radio 2 show presenter, Jamie Cullum, will be setting the atmosphere of the opening night performing live for the Larmer Tree crowd.

The opening night of entertainment will also be supported by rising star English/Italian musician Jack Savoretti who is making a name for himself with a unique sound influenced by 60s Italian music.
