headline slot, lead singer Charlie Simpson said: "It’s amazing to be leading a line-up dedicated
to pushing the best in up and coming British rock music. The festival has a history of featuring great new acts before the
rest of the world hears about them, so we can’t wait to get on site and discover our new favourite band.”

The festival is an intimate gathering
of grass roots bands and some of music's bigger names. Around 60 bands and DJs are handpicked to perform across three
stages over the weekend in front of 2,000 festival goers.
Bosses behind the event promote green issues and follow
an alternative ethical ethos making revellers aware on the need to conserve energy and reduce their carbon footprint.
