Lemonfest organiser Matt Freemantle said "To say we're excited about having some genuine, bonafide hip-hop legends at this years' festival would be an understatement. This year's ethos is all about fun, and bags of it. We're planning on creating one huge party atmosphere from start to finish. We can't wait to share more acts and surprises with you."

Lemonfest has six stages: Main Stage, Dance Arena, Rinse-it Drum & Bass Arena, Locally Grown Stage, Acoustic Stage, and DOWNTOWN, plus lots more entertainment across the site.
