The festival runs from August 7th to 24th, with performers spread across those days in a selection of genres.
The festival, known for its impressive open-air venue, will play host to the likes of dance icons Basement Jaxx, 90s pop legends S Club, and US hip hop stars Busta and Redman, amongst many other famous faces.
As it all kicks off on 7th August, Scottish post-rock band Mogwai and Irish folk group Lankum will take to the stage.
Then in the days that follow, a range of events will take place, including Flackstock, Skepta's Big Smoke Festival and some special performances from Morcheeba, UNKLE, and DJ Shadow.
Flackstock is a family-friendly day of music and performance which celebrates the life of late Love Island anchor Caroline Flack and raises both awareness of mental health and cash for related charities.
Spice Girl Mel C, popstar Pixie Lott and vocalist Alfie Boe are leading the line-up for the Flackstock's annual festival so far.
Wannabe hitmaker Mel C will close the event on August 8 with a top DJ set.
Yet during the day, Alfie and Pixie will take to the stage, as well as Boyzlife - who are making their Flackstock debut.
S Club 7's Jo O'Meara and Jon Lee will be bringing further pop to the proceedings while Love Island alum-turned-musician Wes Nelson is also on the setlist.
Caroline Flack tribute concert line-up revealed with huge acts as Flackstock charity fundraiser returns
Carrie-Oke – in memory of Caroline – will feature the Neptunes Choir with Mazz Murray and Ginger Johnson bringing the good vibes, with more acts yet to be released.
Elsewhere, South Facing Festival will have Busta Rhymes headline on 15 August joined by Redman and Big Daddy Kane.
And the festival will come to a close with a must-see two-night performance by Basement Jaxx on 22 and 23 August.
The iconic festival also provides fuel for your dancing, with a big range of street food and craft drinks.

Love Island fans insist returning Islander ‘did their research' as they expose ‘game plan'
Viewers threatened to call Ofcom when this Islander returned EYES ON THE PRIZE Love Island fans insist returning Islander 'did their research' as they expose 'game plan' LOVE Island fans insist a returning Islander 'did their research' as they expose their 'game plan.' Irish star Megan made her villa return this week in shock scenes, alongside fellow dumped Islander Blu. 3 Love Island fans insist a returning Islander 'did their research' as they expose their 'game plan' 3 Fans have claimed Megan has an obvious game plan Megan was voted least favourite girl after dumping Tommy for Conor, before being axed. But her return has seen her head straight for Conor to pick up where they left off. However, Love Island viewers aren't convinced, with some saying that the brunette beauty has returned to the dating show with a game plan. Taking to Reddit, one person speculated: 'Irish Megan really did her homework. Notice how when Yasmin first came in irish Megan threw the blame on her calling her 'boring and sloppy' and never held Harry or Dejon accountable. 'But now she's flipping the script, telling the girls 'Oh the boys were the problem' and 'It's not Shakira it's Harry.' They continued: 'Since her return, Helena who's always laughing and scoffed 'I'm not threatened by Shakira.' is now crying….its no coincidence that both Helena and Megan are shifting the blame onto Harry instead of Shakira after irish meg came in because they would've jumped guns blazing on Shakira if they hadn't known what the public say about them.' And the poster finished by saying: 'They're even openly acknowledging the 'divide' for the first time and Megan who was confidently arguing with 4+ girls during movie night is now shedding crocodile tears for people to sympathise with her…irish meg TRUST and believe that you will be on that spirit flight back to england i've had enough of them rigging this season and painting shakira and toni as the villains.' The comment was liked by thousands of people in agreement, but not everyone agreed with the theory. Some said it was a good thing that Megan was calling out the boys for their actions, while others fumed that the word 'game player' was being thrown about too easily. Love Island fans praise Megan as she calls out Harry for his actions in brutal speech On her villa return, Megan revealed the real reason she decided to come back. She said: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. "It was an easy decision to make. "When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Some Love Island fans ended up complaining to Ofcom about Megan and Blu's return to the villa. "Producers are ****s, they bring Megan back now that Shakira + Conor are happy + now I've seen that they've put the clip of Shakira + Toni talking about meg + demon in the grafties? "I hate them and ofcom will be hearing from me." Someone else added: "And the voting was rigged - I'm complaining to ofcom too, sick of the lies." A third penned: "@itv bringing back meg over alima is disgraceful. And I will be complaining to ofcom. "Megan recieved the lowest amount of votes. Alimas was never voted out by the public but by somone stealing her man. "S10 molly was kicked out the same way and eventually brought back." A fourth then said: "Everyone needs to complain to ofcom after that episode!!!!!!!" While a fifth added: "I'm actually gonna file an ofcom complaint cause how can they disregard our votes like that? "Megan literally had the lowest votes for favourite girl FOR A REASON."
