Tunbridge Wells: LeeFest to be headlined by Jake Bugg and Annie Mac headline

Jake Bugg and Annie Mac will headline LeeFest in Kent this summer.

LeeFest Presents The Neveland will be held near Tunbridge Wells from Thursday, August 10 Saturday, August 12.

Straight out of Nottingham, headliner Jake Bugg became a household name following his eponymous debut album. His critically acclaimed latest album, On My One, is a departure from his folk roots, and combines his love of hip hop with an infectious brand of 70s pop.

One of dance music’s supreme selectors, fellow headliner Annie Mac is known for her high octane live shows as well as being a globe-trotting DJ, and Radio 1’s champion of new music, with her much-loved Friday night show.

Special guests will be Wild Beasts, known for kaleidoscopic guitar rhythms and lyrics you can scream at the top of your lungs.

New this year will be chart-topping hip-hop collective Jungle, taking over Wonderland’s Beach Stage with other acts appearing including Zane Lowe-approved Fickle Friends, Bad Sounds, Strong Asian Mothers, Fish and Keston Cobblers Club.

There will be three realms at The Neverland, where revellers enter worlds under the rule of a different tribe. The Mermaids are the queens of Mermaids Lagoon, Pirates reign supreme at Skull Ridge and The Lost Boys of The Neverwoods are the practical jokers.

Also on offer will be shape-shifting dance troupes, glitter-fuelled games, real beach parties, comedy, arts and craft workshops and a cinema.

Weekend tickets are on sale now at £99. For details visit leefest.org
