“That is the new music and farming festival being held [on] May 22 to May 24 at the Royal Agricultural Showground in Warwickshire.

“It’s going to be a great weekend. If you sell Hawkstone, whether you’ve been doing it for a long time or not a long time, we’ll give you tickets to Farm Fest.

“There, that’s clear….and expensive.”

Previously, the Daily Star has reported that Mr Clarkson “hopes to rival Glastonbury” with the new festival.
