Redfest the new two day festival happening on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th July takes place in parkland near Redhill, Surrey (15 miles from London) has added two more acts to the bill.

The Toronto boy/girl duo Crystal Castles will headline Saturday 5th July, and Cardiff based indie kids Los Campesinos are the latest additions to the line-up.

There are many more acts still to be confirmed. For the line-up details as available please click here.

The event is an independently run festival with a 5,000 capacity Redfest which this year offers onsite camping, plus bars, food stalls, and of course some of the best up and coming world wide talent on the Main Stage.

Promoter Matt Nichols says, "In today's crowded festival market, there aren't that many independently run festivals who are putting on events without jumping into bed with the big corporations. How many festivals these days feel soulless? With Redfest, I want to reduce the emphasis on gimmicks and corporate sponsorship and take things back to basics so today's youth can have the same experience that previous generations of festival goers had: an event put on purely with music in mind."
