There’s only three days to go until the first day of The Garden Party 2012.

Now in its third year the festival has taken a significant step forward with a host of renowned acts confirmed to play.

The two headliners for the first night will be Reverend and the Makers and Newton Faulkner with Starsailor front man James Walsh and indie legends The Charlatans topping the bill on the Saturday.

Early ticket indications show that well over 2000 people will be turning out for the festivities.
