Over on the Lordship Lawn, The Last Dance Saloon welcomes BBC Introducing, Americana label Loose Music and the mighty Bella Union over the weekend. Acts for The Last Dance Saloon to be announced very soon.

This year's theme has also been announced as 'A Town of Two Faces', which will include the construction of the festival's very own Wild West Town with a twist. The theme will take over the festival site with interactive theatre, art installations and costumes.

Inspired by the Wild West with a twist, one can brave a visit to Dr. Leech’s Wellness Center & Funeral Parlour to take A Beginners Class in Taxidermy and learn how to survive a standoff with a rattlesnake, get up close and personal with animals from the West at Wild Wyatt's Traveling Menagerie, or try their hand at Death Drawing with Art Macabre.

Festival-goers can gather in The Town Square and get their dancing shoes on at The Dance Off’s Hillbilly Hoedown or take centre stage with the ever-popular Rockaoke. At The Church Fate join Legs Akimbo who will be delivering the kind of service you won't want to miss. Plus art collective The Treatment Rooms return to Standon to offer revellers the chance to mosaic their own tombstone and take The Ride of Your Life in the Voodoo Taxi Wagon. SALON London will also return to The Last Dance Saloon to host a selection of interactive talks and classes on the subject of Dark Matters and Bright Ideas.

Organisers announced, "We will celebrate its 10th birthday this 2015. What started as a birthday BBQ and DJs with a handful of friends, has become the perfect summer escape for festival-goers, offering renowned and upcoming acts, immersive theatre, a host of weird and wonderful workshops and talks, the annual dog show, a fancy dress parade and of course its own heated outdoor swimming pool."

Little Dragon top the bill on Friday, The Dandy Warhols with a very special UK exclusive appear on Saturday, and Basement Jaxx will headline the Sunday night. Plus Roots Manuva, Hercules And Love Affair, Ella Eyre, Kwabs, The Antlers, Saint Raymond, Lucy Spraggan, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, London Elektricity, MC Wrec, Slaves, We Have Band, All We Are, Rag n Bone Man, Real Lies, Jagaara, Black Honey, Kiko Bun, Remi Miles, Maddox, and Waste.
