Headlining this year’s Main Stage is international Grammy Nominated home-grown reggae band Aswad best-loved for their No 1 worldwide hits ”Don't Turn Around," and ’Shine”. Having first carved out a niche with their gritty West London ‘Warrior Charge’ Dub sounds, this is a rare London appearance guaranteed to unite festival goers with their adventurous fusion of dancehall, funk, hip-hop and dub.

Joining them is one of the most celebrated and recognisable voices in house music, Alison Limerick, behind the international dance music hit ‘Where Love Lives’ and ‘Make it On My Own’. Her captivating voice and uplifting stage presence will have everyone singing along as will former X-Factor runner up Andy Abraham.

Having played alongside Ed Sheeran at one of his very first London gigs and most recently supported Eric Benet and Heatwave, singer/songwriter Louise Golbey delivers her gutsy soul acoustic set after wowing with support shows for En Vogue, The Stylistics and Roberta Flack as well as performing at the Glastonbury Festival on the BBC Introducing stage. 

Rounding off the Main Stage line up is 80’s electro funkers Sa-Ha-Ra whose ‘Love So Fine’ track has racked up over half a million youtube plays as well as being one of the ‘Most Sampled’ tunes out there.

In the Club Tent, SS welcomes back the vivacious Natasha Watts, talk of the UK soul scene via her releases such as last year’s ‘My Next Chapter’ album and support slots for Gladys Knight, Shalamar, Soul ll Soul, Heather Small & Alexander O’ Neal. She also hosts a weekly show on BBC Radio Berkshire.
