This year, the 20,000 capacity festival is to be held over June 3rd and 4th, and the line-up is taking shape niftily.

Team, Dreadzone, XX Teens (pictured there, look) and all manner of other less familiar names, from Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 to local heroes Vjestice and the wonderfully-named Atheist Rap.
