THE line-up for a popular Somerset festival has been announced.

Travis, Clean Bandit and more are set to headline Valley Fest, which takes place alongside Chew Valley Lake between August 4 and 7 2022.

Faithless (DJ set), Roni Size b2b Nia Archives with Dynamite MC, Kosheen and The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club are also set to headline the festival.

New for 2022 is the Arcadia Experience. Arcadia, the performance art collective, are best known for their iconic, 50 ft fire-spitting spider at Glastonbury.

Acts playing on Arcadia’s Afterburner stage include: Redlight, Gardna, Eva Lazarus, Junior Jungle, Mr Benn and Queen Bee, Felix Joy, Tropical Tea Party, Audiomission, Fleetmac Wood, Fatboy Jim plus DJ Dunks and Flashman Funk.

As well as DJs, festival goers can expect boundary-pushing fire performances, immersive dancefloors and more. Arcadia’s Lords of Lightning will shoot bolts of electricity from their bodies, at different sonic frequencies, creating music lightning.

Luke Hasell, Valley Fest founder said: "I'm so excited about 2022. The Arcadia Experience is going to dial up the spectacle and deliver the best party of the summer.

"With pioneers, luminaries and rising stars, plus a huge Bristol showcase, I can’t wait for everyone to GET ON MY LAND!”
