A second stage will feature an array of live music, film, poetry, comedy and theatre over the weekend with poet John Cooper Clarke the first act announced for that stage.

With a capacity of just 5,000 attendees per day, alternative live music, comedy, theatre, poetry and film will take place across two stages at Peoples Park in Jersey on the weekend of Saturday 30th June and Sunday 1st July 2012.

There will be an arts & crafts area, an organic food village, holistic healing village, and a kids creative playground.

Co-organiser Warren Holt, said, "The Folklore line up is almost complete, and as well as being delighted with our headliners Van Morrison and Ray Davies, who are bound to play sets packed full of hits, I'm really pleased with the eclecticism of the music on offer so far. There's something of a folk theme running through the line up of course, but with each artist bringing their own element to it, from reggae to rock n’ roll, bossa nova to indie, it's looking like a bill that can certainly reach out to a wide range of music fans."

Tickets are priced at £105 for the weekend and day tickets are £62.50. To buy tickets then, click here.
