The brand-new weekend camping destination, State Fayre, has officially confirmed that seven-time GRAMMY winner Alanis Morissette will headline the Saturday night of its debut event at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

This major announcement follows a landmark year for Morissette, including a sold-out O2 Arena show and a monumental Glastonbury set. Joining the Saturday lineup is the legendary British rock group Skunk Anansie.

Booking Information: Tickets are available now at www.statefayre.com, with flexible payment plans offered to attendees.

With a career spanning three decades, Alanis Morissette remains a titan of contemporary music. Her influence stems from her raw, expressive songwriting and a legacy that includes the seminal album Jagged Little Pill. Her most iconic hits 'Ironic', 'You Oughta Know', 'Hand In My Pocket' and 'Thank U' continue to resonate with global audiences today.

Beyond the stage, her impact has reached Broadway, with the Jagged Little Pill musical earning 15 Tony nominations, her 2021 anniversary tour was the top female-fronted tour of the year, while her 2024 "Triple Moon Tour" sold over 500,000 tickets and she has established herself as a versatile actress in both film and television.

Skunk Anansie Formed in London in 1994, this powerhouse quartet is celebrated for blending hard rock, punk, and funk. Led by the iconic Skin, the band is famous for explosive singles such as 'Weak', 'Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)' and 'Charity'. Following their 2009 reunion, they have maintained their status as an electrifying live act, recently bolstered by the success of their Top 10 album, The Painful Truth.

Alanis Morissette and Skunk Anansie step into the lineup following Neil Young’s decision to cancel his European tour dates. State Fayre remains the UK’s premier music and barbecue event, boasting a 30,000-person capacity and a massive roster of talent:
