Promoter Simon Adamson said, "The Magic Loungeabout promises to be a 'grown-up' festival experience with luxury champagne bars and fabulous local food. We’ve signed a fantastic line-up of acts from across the world, from the 'Godfather' of synthpop, Gary Numan, to the masters of melodic electronica, Morcheeba. The Magic Loungeabout will be the perfect opportunity to lounge in the sunshine with a cocktail and the very best in chilled 'folktronica' before enjoying a more upbeat electronica vibe for the night time performances."
