All the acts are added to the line-up for Tornado Town, named after the famous tornado that hit the festival in 2009. Tornado Town returns for a second year to the festival which is now in it's sixth year.

Headlining Sunday night will be swamp rockers Gallon Drunk who released their live album 'The Road Gets Darker From Here' this summer.

Also confirmed are Bristol festival favourites The Zen Hussies, The Caezars, Tankus the Henge, and Steampunkers The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing feat. Andy Heintz ( ex Creaming Jesus) and comedian Andrew O'Neill.

Bearded Theorists can also expect competitions throughout the weekend and the area will hosts the usual Sunday Morning surprise slot that Bearded Theory has become famous for.

Every year Bearded Theory attempts to break the world record for the most amount of people wearing a fancy dress beards in one place and at one time.

The Tornado Town stage will join the Main Stage, Magical Sounds Stage, and Angel Gardens Stage next year. eFestivals believes Levellers have already agreed in principle to headline the event next year.

The acts previously announced are Maroon Town, Buster Shuffle, Left Step Band, Port Erin, The Membranes, Boot Hill All Stars, Bootscraper, The Bakseats, Frenzy, and Sunday Driver. The festival will have bands, DJs, and comedians across four main stages. For the line-up details as available please click here.
