The Jah Spirit Soundsystem Arena has some heavyweight UK soundystems all appearing for an extended session with their own custom-built rigs. Channel One Sound will be appearing on Friday, Aba Shanti-I on Saturday and Young Warrior (with a tribute to his late father Jah shaka) closing proceedings on Sunday. In addition, for those with a Bonus Thursday ticket, you can take in Iration Steppas with an extended DJ set into the evening.

The ever-mercurial Bang Mix Stage will host its own blend of acoustic, spoken word, comedy, poetry, DJs and dancers, with highlights including Sistren Sounds, Reverence Sound, Digga Ranks and Kiki Slawter (all Friday), Dennieze, August, headline poet Raymond Antrobus, Warriah Force and a B2B with Angus Taylor, DJ Sherrine and Champian MC (all Saturday) and Rising Voices, Babak Barbod, Whatty P and the omnipresent Selah Collins (Sunday).
