Hacienda Classical will kick off the festival on the Thursday night, with indie pop group, Bastille, set for the Friday night slot as they take to the stage to perform their bank of top 40 hits which includes ‘Happier’ and ‘Good Grief’. Bastille’s chart-conquering twice No1 debut album, Bad Blood, which featured the international hit, ‘Pompeii’ was the biggest-selling digital album of 2013.

Plus, there will once again be regional street food and craft beer offering on site, with the team behind the festival working hard to create new and exciting experiences for 2023’s programme to make it its best and most diverse lineup yet.
