Bowlie 2 is approaching fast. We still have limited availability in 2, 3, 4 or 6 berth chalets via this link so it's not too late to attend if you like the look of the line-up! The final band additions are:
STEVIE JACKSON (solo set from Belle & Sebastian guitarist)
SECRET BAND
That's right, a secret bonus band chosen by Belle & Sebastian will be playing in Centre Stage at Bowlie 2.
Please note Centre Stage cannot hold everyone attending the festival so this show will be first come first served, and we cannot guarantee everyone will be able to attend.
We can also confirm some DJs:
J.D TWITCH (OPTIMO) will be taking over Reds on Friday night
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LOVED? will run Saturday night in Reds
There are a lot of other great activities going on across the Bowlie 2 weekend other than just the band performances. Sign up for some of the activities beforehand and while you're at the event keep an eye on the ATP twitter and look for the posters on-site in case any times or locations should change!
