In its 17th year, the last big hurrah of the UK festival season, End of The Road returned for another triumphant weekend of music, comedy and cinema. Set in the fields of Larmer Tree Gardens, it is small but immaculately curated – big enough to get lost among the eccentric art installations dotted around, but small enough to never be too far away from any of the stages where indie royalty and the best up-and-coming acts share in the moment.
First day headliners Wilco turned a timid crowd, slightly bruised by the earlier rain, and kicked off with their habitually immaculate guitar work. Thursday being the new Friday, the site was already almost full and the eager arrivals were rewarded by an experienced performance from the Chicago natives.
