Warwickshire’s ALSO24 Festival is back and set to take place at Compton Verney from July 12 to 14.
Oxford’s Indie folk band Stornoway and comedian Sara Pascoe heads this year's line-up.
The festival is housed in a 50-acre area of Capability Brown-landscaped lakeside gardens.
Helen Bagnall, founder and artistic director of ALSO Festival, said: "Coming together to go wild in the wild each summer is what we humans are built to do and an essential part of a year lived well.
"ALSO is the next generation of festivals; highly immersive and truly experiential, with ideas threading through everything that we do.
“We make it effortless for our guests to engage with big, life-enhancing ideas and live a wild summer weekend in an extraordinary festival. So we are leaning in hard to the beauty in ourselves, in others, in the joy of festivals, the beauty of the site with our 2024 theme of 'Heavenly Bodies'.”
Performers, musicians, best-selling authors, and scientists will contribute to the festival.
Welsh singer-songwriter Edie Bens, experimental musician Jessica Winter, hip-hop funk and soul band Miya the Sun, indie rock band Jet Black Orange, James Walker and The Fontanas will be among the performers at the festival.
Ms Pascoe will be joined on the comedy stage by BAFTA-winning writer and comedian Adam Kay, writer and broadcaster Nels Abbey, poet and novelist Salena Godden, TikTok star Marcel Lucont, and Rob Deering, who will conduct a live music-based comedy pop quiz.
Festival goers will have the chance to participate on a variety of activities, from sound baths and lantern making workshops, to joining a vocal coach session led by Juliet Russell of ITV’s The Voice.
Wellness activities including laughter therapy, fitness workshops, a Zen Ten Spa, fire yoga, moon yoga serve as alternatives.
Swimming, paddleboarding and painting meditation are also on offer along with bat walks and astrology activities.
For families, the festival offers den building, mini big safaris, rocket workshops, raft building, messy play and circus schools.
