Love Saves the Day is returning for another year and this might just be the best one yet. Headlining this year’s bank holiday festival is electropop icon Years & Years on Sunday and the iconic Fatboy Slim on Saturday. Nia Archives, Folamour, SG Lewis, Kelis Andy C, and Piri are among the biggest names gracing the main stage this year.

LSTD’s line up is once again bursting with dance music excellence, this year from Eliza Rose, Four Tet, Jyoty, Eats Everything, Romy, Koven, Sub Focus b2b Dimension, Overmono and so many more.

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.
