Cardinal Burns, Pat Cahill, Tom Rosenthal, Brian Gittins, Brett Goldstein, Rob Carter, Tom Davis, and Matt Rees are confirmed for the Laughing Stock comedy tent at this summer's Dino themed Nozstock festival which takes place at a Jurassic farm near Bromyard, in Herefordshire from Friday 1st until Sunday 3rd August 2014.

The Bantam of the Opera theatre will host master puppeteers The Fetch performing a brand new show called Cloth of the World. As night falls, The Velveteen Valley will take over the Bantam of the Opera theatre, filling it with decadent cabaret including Ophelia Bitz, Amber Rosia, Beulah Bell, Ursula Dares, Oh! Carolina, Twinkel Pink, Florence Fontaine, Bella Donna Berry, wen Niblock, and many more.

Prepare to go prehistoric this year, as Nozstock will also be rolling back time. The dinosaur bones will need to be dusted off and the spear heads collected as the 2014 theme is 'The Land That Noz Forgot.'

To celebrate Nozstock want attendees this year to be part of a Marc Bolan (lead singer of T.Rex - geddit?) flash mob world record attempt on the Saturday at 4pm at the Bandstand! To sign festival goers need to turn up at the Bandstand a little before 4pm with their best Marc Bolan outfit on. All together now, 'Get it oooooonnnn...'

Interactive theatre will also be seen throughout the site with stilt-walkers, jugglers, unicyclists, acrobatic cavemen, dinosaurs and more will all grace the Jurassic landscape. The weekend will see a tribal dance break out and chieftains will take crowds on an epic hunt across the site, joined by life-size exoskeletal puppets (think sabrecats and mammoths).

They line-up includes Roots Manuva, The Heavy, Molotov Jukebox, Craig Charles, James Zabiela, The Skints, Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer, Friction & Linguistics, By The Rivers, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Charli XCX, Sonic Boom Six, Eddy Temple Morris, Dense & Pika, Radio Riddler, The Skints, Cinc Sound, SemTex, Flash Harry, Dizraeli and the Small Gods, Mouse Outfit ft Dr Syntax & Sparkz , Tako Lako, Too Many T's, More Like Trees, Le Galaxie, Gaps, Big Deal, New Town Kings, Asbo Disco, Benji Tranter, Typesun, Two Man Ting, Stiff Joints, The Remedy, Jess Morgan, and many more.
