Preview: Nozstock Festival

As one of the countries leading boutique festivals, Nozstock's strength and alluring quality lies in its eclectic, freewheeling, easy going nature. As a resolutely independent festival, last year saw Nozstock draft in turns from artists as far reaching as Chas and Dave, DJ Yoda, Dub Pistols, Sonny Wharton plus an awesome selection of drum n bass involving Ram Records' most vital players.

This year sees Nozstock really get stuck in, with headlining slots coming from iconic British hip hop star Roots Manuva (check out his classic performance of 'Clockwork' above), Bath based Indie rockers The Heavy, the party primed Molotov Jukebox and ska punk quartet The Skints.

Over on The Garden Stage, DJing legend James Zabiela (watch him tear up the Boiler Room below), Shogun Audio main man Friction, funk fiend Craig Charles and a returning Sonny Wharton (who labelled the festival a favourite in our recent interview) all arrive primed for party inducing destruction.

Drum n bass makes a welcome return too with Andy C continuing the Ram theme from 2013 (it's his label of course) topping the bill. Label favourites Calyx and Teebee join him, with other standout moments promised from DC Breaks, Frankee, Ray Rampage, TC, and the darkly addictive Jubei.

With loads more still yet to be announced, Nozstock is already well placed to provide another blistering edition to its already impressive canon. Snatch your Nozstock tickets here.
