THe first major announcment for the event – staged between Friday July 24 and Sunday, July 26 - came at the start of the month with Billy Bragg, Blanck Mass, Walls, Kate Tempest, Roman Flügel and many more named to play.

The announcment of Basement Jaxx - who released ‘Junto’, their seventh album, in August last year - is sure to casuse as much excitement as that of The Charlatans did when that was announced 24 hours earlier.
