Quotes

From the artists:

"It’s an honour to be back playing the main stage again and we are so pleased to be able to present new music from our latest album, alongside our classic songs from previous albums, at this festival.

What’s brilliant about festivals is the sense that it is still a challenge- there are lots of other great artists on, so it inspires a bit of battle mentality- where you feel you still have to win the crowd over as they may well not be your fans! so it forces you to give everything you have and more to convince the doubters!

And of course what's also beyond amazing is the feeling of playing music through a huge soundsystem out in the open air with people spread as far and wide as the eye can see- its a very unique experience hearing your music beneath the open sky with thousands of others.”
Faithless
