Following these initial names, Foals have now become the biggest name on the bill so far, with DIY’s recent cover stars Hinds and RAT BOY also joining the line-up, along with Ezra Furman, Julia Holter, Beirut, Suede and more.

A line-up of DJs has also been announced for the event, with the likes of Floating Points, Mount Kimbie and Neneh Cherry playing sets across the weekend in the concourse of the Colston Hall. Laura Marling has also joined an ever-expanding bill, along with John Grant, Kurt Vile, Mystery Jets and Poliça.

The festival also sees a return to Bristol for Bloc Party, playing the O2 Academy on the Sunday night.
