One of the biggest draws on site since it made it's inaugural appearance in 2011, this year Replay gets it's own big top tent, and the 'Replay with Rob da Bank' stage will also play host to Ruen Brothers, Dog Is Dead, To Kill A King, Man Without Country, Feeling Gloomy, and Chloe Howl.

Plus there will be appearances from previously announced acts like The 1975, Swim Deep, Merchandise, Champs, Jagwar Ma, Lewis Watson and Molotov Jukebox with many more previously announced acts to be added to the stage, watch this space for more news.

Festival captain Rob da Bank said, "Last year we really went to town on the 'Replay with Rob da Bank' stage with some amazing bands making it one of the most popular stages we've ever had with insane performances from the likes of Alt-J tearing the place apart. This year's no different, we've gone full steam ahead and booked one of the best line-ups of exciting and fresh music that you're likely to see all year long, with The 1975, Swim Deep, Merchandise and Jagwar Ma amongst many I 'd recommend. Make sure you don't miss out on this one, it's gonna be big."
