Last year LSTD had strong representation from the UK rap scene with Unknown T and Potter Payper and this year’s line up does not disappoint with appearances from eclectic rapper-producer Knucks, big name drill artist K-Trap and Leicester-born prodigy Sainté.

DnB fans will be excited for the newest stage, The Big Top, which is set to host Hybrid Minds and Tempza on the Saturday night plus a takeover by RUN throughout the day. The Blast is hosting The Brouhaha Stage on Sunday with the type of genre-bending line up they’ve become known for at their Bristol events. Shy FX headlines with support from Clipz With Dread MC, Kings of the Rollers ft Inja, and a selection of Blast DJs.

The Paradiso stage, always a LSTD favourite, will see sets from the atmospheric Mall Grab, the ever-versatile Salute, Kettama and Surusinghe. One of the best things about this festival is the opportunity to enjoy new music live, and there’s a treasure trove of incredibly talented Bristol-based artists on the bill to do just that. Look out in particular for Yemz, Carasel and the Born2Be Records takeover, which, if it’s anything like last year, will be one to remember.
