Little Dragon to headline Love Saves The Day 2017
Love Saves The Day have announced the lineup for their return to Eastville Park on May 27 and 28, with Grammy-nominated Little Dragon taking centre stage as Saturday’s headliners.
Little Dragon is an act who have established themselves as a band keen to never rest on their laurels, not only prodding and playing with the boundaries of their own sound, but collaborating with the likes of Gorillaz, Big Boi and DJ Shadow to expand their musical horizons
Also on board for Love Saves The Day on Saturday will be Mura Masa, recognised for his loveable electro pop sound and cool collaborations with the likes of Shura, Jay Prince and Nao, one of the most striking new voices in music and an artist also set to grace the main stage on the same day.
Sunday’s headline slot is in the capable hands of Fat Freddy’s Drop, a band whose eclectic blend of dub, reggae, techno and jazz has made them internationally regarded as one of the world’s finest live draws.
The Mercury prize shortlisted Kate Tempest supports them on the bill with her hip-hop influenced poetry, alongside Brixton rapper AJ Tracey, recently selected as one of the BBC Sound Of 2017 artists.
Shy FX will play the main stage for the very first time bringing full production and guests to join him for what should be an unforgettable show stopper.
Nadia Rose will also appear, with the quick-fire, crazy flow with which her performances have become synonymous.
Over at Cloud 9, one of the forefathers of grime, Kano, will spearhead the wave of grime artists at the festival.
He’ll be joined Manchester crew Levelz, emerging bass DJ and producer Holy Goof, and Bristol-based My Nu Leng, who’ll be spinning garage, house and dubstep and everything else in between.
The visually stunning Arcadia Spider will be returning for a second year. The original Arcadia installation, the Afterburner is a 360-degree stage built around a central flaming spire with dance platforms radiating out to a ring of exploding lampposts.
Love Saves The Day takes place at Eastville Park on May 27 and 28, 2017. For the full lineup and tickets, visit www.lovesavestheday.org
