Dave Clarke, Co-Festival Director, commented on the June weekender: “We were lucky to be one of the first festivals back after lockdown last year and the atmosphere was the best ever. And the anticipation for this summer’s 3 day Jubilee party is off the scale. Since our massive headliners were announced, everyone has been itching to hear who is joining us and the lineup only adds to that tangible excitement. Our team and collaborators are bringing
together the most diverse lineup yet with a blend of big names and underground cutting edge talents including as much homegrown talent as we could squeeze in.”
