As previously announced, Stereo MC’s will headline the festival. Other formerly-announced performers include Craig Charles, Hannah Williams and The Blockheads.
The event will feature two main music stages, with a third Village Green stage for local bands. The Chew Stage educates festival-goers about ethical food production with chef demonstrations and family-friendly activities.
Though Valley Fest takes place on 100 acres of pristine farmland, the event will also feature urban street art. Over the three days of the festival, artists will turn an abandoned combined harvester into a work of art.
