Four Tet, Roots Manuva & Lee Scratch Perry to headline Golden Down Festival

Golden Down Festival have recently announced their line-up for this year, which sees Four Tet, Roots Manuva & Lee Scratch Perry headline the Hampshire-based event that is set to take place on 15th-17th June. The event is a brand new festival on the scene and only holds 5,000 people, but with the likes of Kerri Chandler, Julio Bashmore, Ghostpoet & many more big names on the bill, this could well be one of the biggest weekends of the season. Alongside the big names there are also some of the world's most exciting acts in Electronic music, including the incredible Ben UFO, Space Dimension Controller & Pearson Sound. If you're not into big festivals, love good music and don't want to spend too much money, then Golden Down could well be the one for you this Summer. Check out the full line-up and ticket details after the jump.
