Official Secrets Act, and more for Lovebox Weekender

Official Secrets Act, and Filthy Dukes, are amongst the latest acts announced for next month's Lovebox Weekender.

As well as news of the latest line-up additions of Official Secrets Act, Filthy Dukes, Max Tundra, and The Raghu Dixit Project, Lovebox has announced more details about The Fringe Field.

The Field will offer other weird and wonderful random happenings at Lovebox - operas, orchestras, comics and cirque all hosted by La Clique's Mistress of Ceremonies, Miss Behave and takes its inspiration from the Edinburgh festival.

Cut-A-Shine will be hosting their own Barn Dancing tent and there will be walkabout performances from the likes The Trans-Siberian Marching Band, The Whoopee Club and circus from Skate Naked. The Bee's Knees will be hosting a giant Al Fresco dance class plus gypsy fiddlers Hot Club of Belleville and Earl Okin.

Making their debuts at Lovebox this year are the London Swingphonia - a 20-piece orchestra playing rat-packed hits sung by the spectacular, tuxedo-wearing Harry Martin - and bizarre soloist, Opera Burlesque.

The stage will also play host to a packed child-friendly program on Sunday when acts including: The Chipolotas and the Jones & Barnard Show will serve up slapstick cirque, street theatre and comedy. Yet another debut for the ever-expanding Fringe Field is the Out Of the Ordinary Stage which will host what can only be described as a mind-bending symposium of esoteric learning on earth mysteries, crop circles, leylines and shamanism.
