Line ups released

THE VALLEY OF THE ANTICS stage - new to the Garden - has now released their full line up. This stage is brought to you by The Antic Establishment: connoisseurs and exponents of the best in bright, fresh live music and progressive dance music; exquisite, interactive, poetic décor and revolutionary, revelatory games for the twenty-first century! The area is co-programmed by Wormfood, Man Make Music and Deviate, with surreal large-scale team games by Rootatroupe, performance poetry by Hammer and Tongue and acoustic acts hosted by Olivia Lila (Kick Cabaret) and Bunty.

Highlights of the live music programme include rising reggae star Natty, UK beatbox champion Beardyman, awesome live hiphop from Bad Science and Lazy Habits, loop pedal craziness from UK Indy music winner Joe Driscoll, heavy live dub from Gentlemen's Dub Club, jump up country from Cut a Shine's Barn Dance and audacious party styles from Man Like Me.

Not to mention 21st century Mali-Reggae Garage from The Worm, ska/ calypso from Brothers Bab, psychedelic gypsy beats from Gypsydelica and Death Ray Trebuchey, folk from Mumford and Sons and Peggy Sue and the Pirates and rowdy baile funk from rising stars Crystal Fighters.

Man Make Music and Deviate will be proving that bass isn't just for the city as they inject their own low-end driven sense of fun in to proceedings…

We’re proud to welcome DMZ & FWD resident DJ Chef - the nicest man in dubstep, East London insomniacs Husley & Gunz, bassline king L-Vis 1990 and dancehall pressure from Blaise Bellville. Top this off with original party starter J*Star, turntablism from the No Fakin DJs and of course MMM and Deviate’s finest residents. The Valley will be offering quality dance music from across the spectrum to tickle those chest-plates, raise some smiles and get that mud-a-shuddering!"
