Lined up to play so far are:

• The Jam Project - The jam

• After Monkeys - Arctic Monkeys

Street Treats and Beats says it will be offering: 'Top-Tier street food, featuring mouth-watering dishes from some of the best vendors around.

The weekend also features rides and inflatables with the emphasis on it being a family event.

Craft stalls and dancers are also promised.

The first ticket releases have already gone on sale - and the organisers say they will be keeping ticket prices low to make this an event everyone can enjoy. Further updates on the Epic Weekender are planned.
