The first acts announced feature local acts who will be appearing including smallest, youngest band Blissfields have ever booked The Mini Band, Arp Attack, Gosport natives Bear Cavalry, Big O, Cut Corners, Kill em Dead Cowboy, Little Chief, Live Like Kings,and Melodramas.

There are no other acts confirmed yet. More of the line-up will be released over the coming weeks, including headliners and more major acts.

Music takes place across five stages: The main open air stage; The Bradley Bubble a Big Top Stage offering mixed entertainment including local acts, open mic and after hours fun; Tractor Disco Stage (DJs) – An open air carnival on a tractor trailer for all day frivolity; The Hidden Hedge - a secluded hideaway in the woods, with chilled atmosphere and secret appearances/performances; and The Campfire which offers acoustic, DIY, and other entertainment.

This year Blissfields will celebrate the world of sport with a full programme of sports day events, a school disco and remember the last day of school. There's the opportunity to represent your House, as well as vote for Head Boy and Head Girl, once again giving fans of the festival another way to be a part of the makings of the event. Although Blissfields will not be strict on the dress code, although they do warn they may have to employ Hall Monitors to make sure you are all upholding the Blissfields reputation.

So, grab your jolly hockey sticks and catch us round the back of the bike shed for the best 'last day of term' style fun you ever had.
