There will be three stages, with bands performing on Friday night until 11pm and all day Saturday and Sunday until 11pm. Friday night will also feature 2 hours of Psy-Trance DJs and a special appearance by Media/Video Artist Tzolkin23.
Although the focus for this year's festival is primarily music, art, health and theatre are also included in the festival programme with fringe performances, healers, spiritualists and artists performing and creating installations during the course of the festival.
Acts confirmed include Conspirators, Toyshelf, Drone Wars, Belladonna, High Vixons, Mosaics, Premium Trucks, Mean Poppa Lean, Bluesville, Instant Species, Rainmaker, Knievel, Scapegoat Kelly, and more. For the line-up details for all three stages as available please click here.
There will be food and alcohol available on site. There will be a kid's space but children will remain the responsibility of their parents. Disabled access may be difficult as a significant area of the site is hilly and will be difficult to negotiate with a wheelchair.
