Taking place on Clapham Common over the bank holiday on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th August the new acts join the previously announced headliners Underworld and Pendulum, as well as John Digweed, Laidback Luke, Pete Tong, James Zabiela, Hernan Cattaneo and SOS on Saturday, and Magnetic Man, Annie Mac, Wretch 32, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Yasmin, Union and Digital Soundboy Soundsystem on Sunday.

As expected Sven Vath will bring his techno imprint Cocoon to SW4 for the very first time this summer, as he celebrates his personal milestone of 30 years behind the decks. His arena on Saturday will feature Loco Dice, Tiefschwarz, Guy Gerber, Josh Wink, Cocoon's own Tobi Neumann, and rising underground house star Tim Green.

The previously announced Above and Beyond bring their Group Therapy album showcase to SW4 this summer, the trio will be joined by fellow trance giant Ferry Corsten, and a line-up that includes Judge Jules, AVA Recordings label boss Andy Moor, and Anjunabeats stalwarts Super8 & DJ Tab, Mat Zo, and Jaytech. London's underground house night, Shake It! return to SW4 for the first time since 2009. Shake It! residents Layo & Bushwacka! will be joined by Frenchman Laurent Garnier who headlines proceedings, bringing with him an exclusive performance of his 'Live Booth Sessions' showcase alongside Benjamin Rippert and Stephane 'Scan X' Dri. Garnier himself explains that while L.B.S. officially stands for Live Booth Sessions, a more fitting name would be Loud Bass and Samples. The Saturday Shake It! showcase will also feature Tiga, M.A.N.D.Y., and Spencer Parker.

Adding more music to the Sunday line-up and heading proceedings in the Together Arena is M_Nus label boss Richie Hawtin, also playing under the Together banner are Sub Focus, Andy C, Joker, Mums Of Death, Modeselektor, and Gaiser.

Flying the flag for the Ibiza institution We Love is Sasha, joined by Viva Record boss Steve Lawler, plus residents Simian Mobile Disco, and Joris Voorn. Completing the line-up is Berlin's Bpitch Control label boss Ellen Allien, alongside Technasia, and Mat Playford.

As the previously announced Arena name suggested Adam Beyer has chosen South West Four to host the next instalment of Drumcode in the capital. He will be joined in the Drumcode Arena by very special guest and fellow Swede Eric Prydz, playing under his Cirez D guise for the very first time, as a world exclusive.

Completing the bill are Slam, Paul Ritch, Ben Sims, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Ida Engberg.

Making London exclusive appearances are Underworld as Saturday headliner and Pendulum as Sunday headliner supported by Magnetic Man and a full line-up of electronica acts.

Tickets are priced at £45 for Sunday or Sunday with the two day ticket priced at £85.
