This year's Fringe Street a weird and wonderful space dedicated to showcasing the alternative side of Lovebox will host the mesmerising Lords of Lightning who will harness the power of the elements to put on a show-stopping display. Harnessing 4 million volts of raw electricity into a glorious spectacle.

A menagerie of other acts will be playing the Fringe Street over the three days, including live musical performances in Wah Wah Live, brought to Lovebox for the first time by the Jazz Cafe and Favela Chic regulars Wah Wah 45's. Circus Kinetica, the award-winning Brighton multi-disciplinary arts collective, will also be bringing their unique show to the Fringe Street with a bespoke stage created especially for Lovebox. For the energetic, Oddballs will be providing circus skills lessons up and down the street, as well as performances within their tent, whilst the young can enjoy the Mystical Fairies.

The Leeds-based Marvellous Tea Dance Company will provide a chance for a break with the provision of tea and cakes alongside impromptu dancer performances.

The Fringe Street will also provide ample opportunities to stock up on stylish vintage clothing and accessories at Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair, and The East End Thrift Store.

The Secret Emporium, a collective of artisan traders all under one canvas roof, will also be in attendance. The artisans include artists, makers, fashion designers, milliners, jewellery designers, feather smiths, sculptors, curiosity fabricators, illustrators, ceramicists and printmakers. Art fanatics will have their cravings satisfied by the Scrap Dragon Boutique, who create incredible art out of junk, and the Pure Evil art gallery.

Lovebox has also announced a series of very special art installations set to bring the site to life. Illuminarium will be creating fireflies for the Stockage Stage, which will produce propane-fuelled fire jets and fireballs up to four metres high. 30 giant red, purple, blue and gold illuminated tulips will grace the site courtesy of Jigantics. Designs in Air, renowned for their inflatable installations, will provide a lit mushroom cluster for the Relentless arena, four giant eye balls in the trees which will move from side to side and watch over revellers and giant curvy cones spread out across the site.
