THE first announcement of acts at this year’s Leopallooza 10th anniversary festival have just been released and event organisers claim this year’s will be ‘bigger and better than ever’.

Among the initial artists to be announced are Irish quartet Kodaline, Crystal Fighters, Pretty Vicious, Billie Marten, Louis Berry and Loyal Carner.

There are still tickets left for the festival which takes place amongst the fields and woodlands of North Cornwall, but to show just how popular the festival has become, when 2000 early bird tickets were released last summer, they were sold out within two hours of going on sale.

Taking place over the weekend of July 29 to 31 at The Wyldes, Lower Exe Farm, near Bude, this year’s 10th anniversary festival — knowns as LeoX — is sure to be special with many more exciting announcements to come.

This 6,500 capacity event has been created around a passionate audience, featuring a ‘Later with Jools’ style set-up of handcrafted stages and bars. As well as homegrown talent, Leopallooza attracts bands, musicians and DJs from all over the UK and beyond.
