Fabio & Grooverider and The Outlook Orchestra have already been announced as the headliner for the opening Thursday night.

Joining the duo are two newly added special guests; DJ Roni Size and Dynamite MC.

Bristol’s own Mercury Music Prize winner Roni Size will take to the stage alongside long term collaborator and the voice of Full Cycle Dynamite MC.

The final day will see Hospitality on the Harbour takeover Lloyd’s Amphitheatre with DJ and producer Wilkinson headlining the event.

Tom Hoyle, Co-Founder of Siren said: “Sean Paul is an international superstar and one of the biggest names in dancehall music so having him on the Siren stage this summer is an incredible honour.

“He’s an act whose output over the last 20 years has connected with so many different audiences and we’re really excited to be bringing him to Bristol for the first time in over 12 years!

After last year’s sold out events, this year’s harbourside weekender is going to be bigger than ever and our line-up for all three nights is going to make this summer one to remember.

“We’ve been blown away by the incredible response to these shows already so we’re looking forward to a great weekend.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday 10 March.
