Brand new major camping festival State Fayre has revealed the lineup for its inaugural FUME Pit, a mouth-watering collection of the UK’s finest pitmasters and food traders, alongside a fresh wave of music names joining the bill.
Skunk Anansie, The Black Crowes and Razorlight are on the music bill alongside headliners Kings Of Leon, Alanis Morissette and The Lumineers. There’s plenty here to interest rock fans. And honestly, who doesn’t love barbecue?
The FUME Pit, hosted on-site by FUME (the UK’s premier live-fire BBQ festival), features an all-star roster of food traders including Netflix’s Barbecue Showdown star KG BBQ from Austin, Texas, multi-award-winning wood-fired chef James Peck of Ember, dramatic open-flame theatre from The Dragon Flame BBQ, London’s best ribs from Rack City Ribs, and standout plant-based offerings from Wholesome Junkies (as seen on Netflix and BBC Two’s Million Pound Menu) alongside vegan smokehouse LD’s Kitchen. All traders will offer at least one BBQ dish for under £10.
The FUME Pit will also feature the largest live-fire cooking display ever seen in the UK, with giant BBQ rigs specially delivered from as far as Brazil and the USA. Guest appearances across the weekend come from content creators Big John (John Fisher), Eating With Tod and Ollie Eats.
New music names added today include Benny G, Brenn!, Emma Ogier, Hannah Hill, Landon Smith, Lily Moore, Linka Moja, Mae Estes, Marfa and The Brudi Brothers, joining the previously announced bill of Kings Of Leon, Alanis Morissette, The Lumineers, The Black Crowes, Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, Counting Crows, Skunk Anansie, Stephen Wilson Jr., Jack Savoretti, Orville Peck, KT Tunstall, Razorlight and more.
