Pendulum (DJ)
Heavyweight drum and bass group Pendulum known for their distinctive sound which mixes hard rock and electronic music will be back at Brownstock. They played in the Brownstock Good Shed area in 2011 and absolutely brought the house down. Expect no less from their 2014 live performance.

Chloe Howl
BBC sound of 2014 nominated singer songwriter Chloe Howl will play the main stage at Brownstock 2014. She has already been shortlisted as 2014 Brit Awards critic’s choice. Described by the Guardian as “running on turbo” it is certainly the case that her career has really started to fly. Certainly one not to miss at this year’s event.
Josh Record
Singer songwriter Josh Record will play the main stage. In March 2014, Josh Record released “For Your Love” on Virgin Records. Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 made it his “Hottest Record in The World” in February 2014. The Times stated that “Record has a sensational debut album in him”.
