Detailing their initial line-up announcement, Head of Programming Marcus Neal explained:
"It's a real pleasure pulling together a festival line-up and it feels great to be able to start releasing the first names for 2023. We’re always proud of the quality of artists we work with and 2023 will be no different. This first release covers so many bases from spiritual jazz to UK hip-hop, indie-folk to post-punk, we feel there is already a great spread of genres and we look forward to building upon this with further announcements including more festival headliners in the new year."
