LeeFest will play host to an extra special secret performance. This Kent born outfit are set to bring lip-snarling rabble-rousing energy, with more to be revealed. Watch this space and take a deep breath… It’s a biggie.

Straight out of Nottingham, LeeFest headliner Jake Bugg became a household name following his eponymous debut album. He has earned legions of fans thanks to his heartfelt folk anthems and intimate stage presence.

Kate Tempest needs little introduction, the mesmerising spoken word poet smashed expectations of what success should be. She is an accomplished playwright, novelist, poet and respected recording artist who effortlessly weaves song, spoken word and rap into her shows.

Fellow headliner Annie Mac is renowned as one of dance music’s most supreme selectors. Annie is without a doubt one of dance music’s superstars and a musical polymath. Easily one of the world’s most hard-working DJ’s, Annie is known for her high octane live shows.

Finishing off the night with a DJ set by the hosts themselves, Jungle’s eclectic selection is certain to provide a stand-out Neverland moment.

Aussie born and Berlin based five-piece Parcels have quickly garnered a dedicated online following thanks to their funk-pop feel good tracks. Their latest single Overnight sees a very rare production appearance from Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, aka Daft Punk.

Fresh from two sold out London shows, Zak Abel has fast become an unstoppable force and one of the freshest voices in the UK music scene.

British grunge-loving girl gang Hey Charlie join the bill, as do newly formed alt-rockers Yassassin, who tackle social issues with high energy, evoking the sound and fury of forebears the like of Le Tigre, PJ Harvey, and The Breeders. Peckham based band Yowl will appear alongside the already packed out lineup.

Since their very first festival in Lee’s parent’s back garden in 2006, LeeFest has become a thriving arts community that welcomes 5,000 revellers annually.
