The Downs festival Bristol have announced their first string of artists for this years event, and they are very good ones indeed. The Downs Bristol is the city's largest one day music festival, and this years festival returns to Clifton Down on Saturday 31st of August. The organisers think this years acts are spectacular, and we totally agree with Ms. Lauryn Hill, Grace Jones, Neneh Cherry and Bristol’s own Idles beign some of the first names announced.

The festival's stand out Avon Stage will be home to a Dance and Hip Hop line up, headlined by one of the UK’s most esteemed up and coming Hip Hop artists Loyle Carner. Also on the bill will be English Electronic outfit Crazy P, DJ and electronic music composer Nightmares on Wax and a special performance from Drum 'n' Bass outfit High Contrast... who will have the accompaniment of a live band.

Discussion and debate has been a key part of The Downs Bristol since its inception in 2016 and once again festival goers can expect the return of The Information Stage, a space where key note speakers address issues affecting UK society. This will transform after dark into a music stage featuring new musical talent, after the huge popularity of last year's line-up.
