If you don\u2019t have the time to paw through the more than 500 acts (!) that are performing this year, here\u2019s a list of bands and people to look out for that should get your festival appetite going:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Arrested Development \u2013 Town Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AEEINM01G7U\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>With their feel-good songs that everyone will know, of course Arrested Development have to be up there as ones not to be missed. Bring your friends and a big smile, and they\u2019ll bring their legendary old school funky hip hop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Soom T \u2013 Trenchtown<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ulnVejx6hbg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>A personal favourite, Soom T has a pretty unique style. She toasts, she sings in quarter tones, and her one love philosophy is delivered in her distinctive Scottish accent. Last year we saw her with her all-girl band; this year, despite the already high standards, she\u2019s still stepping it up by playing alongside reggae legend Dawn Penn and DJ Earl Gateshead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Bobbie Johnson \u2013 Barrio Locco<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fgjxX33RhHw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Sometimes known as the rapping Adele, this Brighton based lyricist is on the rise. Producer of many of her own tracks, she\u2019s full of snappy lyrics and beats to make you stamp your feet \u2013 her swaggering energy is one to behold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) dgoHn \u2013 DSTRKT 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuEYrQ2JxsM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of Aphex Twin, dgoHo (pronounced \u201cJohn\u201d) will likely be right up your street. The producer of works of \u201cdrumfunk\u201d, a micro-genre of drum and bass, dgoHo\u2019s music is meticulously created, full of never-ending drum solos and dreamy sounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Sounds of Harlowe \u2013 Wild West<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/keJql3T3pY4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Smooth and jazzy while funky with touches of R&amp;B, Sounds of Harlowe is developing a big name \u2013 particularly for their great live performances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Ginkgoa \u2013 Mayfair<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3G14JPKr9FU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If you love electro-swing and you love a good party (and when isn\u2019t live electro-swing a good party?), this is the band for you. Frontwoman Nicolle Rochelle\u2019s unquenchable energy is contagious, and their live performances have been likened to those of electro-swing greats Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Mouldy Soul \u2013 Forest Parties<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zo7G8wAIaY0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Half hip-hop, half glitchy, half-popped beats, this is music to wobble your body to. Described as \u201cfriendly and danceable and funky\u201d by Mouldy Soul, his glitch hop is both futuristic and has a deep \u201cwavy\u201d beat to keep the forest moving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) IAMDDB \u2013 Barrio Locco<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JJjVBe0zrHs\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Dreamy yet sassy, IAMDDB combines smooth backing music with confident, chilled vocals. Aside from being someone I can\u2019t wait to see at Boomtown, IAMDDB was the person I put straight on my iPod as future chill out music as soon as I heard her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) Fourward \u2013 Sector 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zKLoBaM-WBs\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for some absolutely filthy drum and bass then Sector 6 is always the place to be \u2013 and no more so than with this band. Grab your messiest friends, get your head down, and get ready to skank your hands off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) Petrol Bastard \u2013 Chinatown<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9-mufhkO75E\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The daftest riot on the whole line up.
