Orchestral Manouvres In The Dark are set to headline the event on June 26, bringing their synth-pop sound to Bristol off the back of 2023 album Bauhaus Staircase. The following night, The Streets will head up proceedings, playing their classic 2004 album A Grand Don’t Come For Free live in full for the first time.

More headliners and full daytime lineups for the Bristol Harbourside-based event will be announced in the coming months.
