Highest Point Festival, Lancaster: Latest artist reveals including Sister Sledge, the Zutons, Feeder plus dance lineup and BBC Introducing stage stars (full lineup)

Now in its second year, the music festival will welcome some of its most established names to date with more to be announced.

Disco royalty Sister Sledge, famed for their hits ‘We Are Family’ and ‘Lost In Music’, will turn Williamson Park into one big dancefloor, whilst indie-rockers The Zutons will hit crowds with some nostalgia.

Welsh rockers Feeder are lined up, with hip-hop authority Grandmaster Flash also set for a live performance.

The Dell stage, a natural amphitheatre deep in the woods, will be at the forefront of the festival’s dance offerings, hosting Saved Records boss Nic Fanciulli and house wizard (and friend of Highest Point) James Zabiela as headliners on the Friday.

On the Saturday, co-founder and CEO of Hospital Records London Elektricity finally makes it to Lancaster with Hospitality up-and-comer Whiney, with ragga legend General Levy and Dynamite MC also confirmed.

On Friday you can catch reel-to-reel pioneer Greg Wilson and Glitterbox favourite Hifi Sean behind the decks, whilst on Saturday, Mighty Mouse, Get Down Edits and Derek Kaye will all bring their disco stylings.

The Sundial Stage, with amazing views over Morecambe Bay, is another party haven which will host Juice Box presents Jinx in Dub b2b Gella on Friday, and Escape presents Judge Jules on the Saturday.

BBC Introducing will be returning, bringing with them some of the finest up-and-coming acts from the area and beyond.

2018’s edition saw the park burst to life with a fusion of live music and DJ sets, and this year will be the same, but with extended hours on the Friday and Saturday, with five stages of music from 11am-11pm, followed by a family day on Sunday May 19.

Camping has also been introduced for 2019, giving attendees even more options when it comes to their weekend.

Highest Point founder Jamie Scahill commented: "We are all buzzing that Highest Point Festival will return to the beautiful surroundings of Williamson Park in Lancaster in May.

"Over 20,000 smiling faces attended over the 3 days last year and we aim to make this year even bigger.”
