Gogol Bordello is an American Gypsy punk band from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, inspired by Gypsy music mixed with punk and dub and known for spectacular theatrical stage shows.
The legendary Alabama 3 will be bringing their blues sound and experimenting with acid house and techno. Alice Russell is a music force to be reckoned with providing plenty of soul, with the late night party being supplied by Dub Phizix & Strategy known for their monstrous bass, this is a great way to start your festival season.

The buzz around this years line up is electric and we hope not to disappoint with our biggest line up to date!”
