## Resource

For two decades, End of the Road in England has been a legendary summer music festival—where surprise gigs from CMAT and Mac DeMarco dazzle crowds, Pulp closes their world tour with deep cuts, and art installations turn the grounds into an immersive experience. Born in 2006 when founder Simon Taffe sold his house to fund it, the festival grew from 5,000 to 15,000 attendees annually, becoming the UK’s final major summer gig. Known for launching stars like Tame Impala and St. Vincent while nurturing indie gems, it refuses corporate buyouts or big sponsors, instead partnering with labels and publications to preserve its soul. Amid rising costs and festival closures across the UK, End of the Road stays true to its roots—smaller, deeper, and more magical than ever—with hope on the horizon for government support to keep grassroots music alive.
