Melvin Benn, Mean Fiddler MD, said of the decision, "This is great news. Last years festival once again demonstrated that Bramham Park is the perfect venue for the Norths only music festival and we can now look forward to another three days of great music and world famous bands in 2005."
No acts have been confirmed yet - the first announcements are expected in the second half of March.
