You’ll be able to explore Blissfields four-dimensional world featuring brand new and bespoke installations and artwork, plunge yourself into living, breathing and interactive festival scenery, bathe under the stars, join themed games and get a clear perception of humanity; where we’ve been, where we’re going, the pitfalls, the possibilities, the perils and the promise. All realised in Blissfields’ own vision of inclusivity, of family, of art and wonder, of music discovery and hazy inconsequentiality.

The family friendly festival for forward thinking music fans will be inviting many of its collaborators back in 2015, as well as opening up a new grant scheme for budding artists, promoters and performers. Some of the areas to look out for in 2015 are…… Amoeba To Zebra, Angel Gardens, Back Of The Bus, Boutique Camping, CAMEL CAMP, Craft Area, Electric Dreams, Fields Of Bliss Spa + Posh Wash, The Hidden Hedge & Time Warp Sportsday.

Northbound is an affordable festival that incorporates great music with reasonably priced drinks, high quality food and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

DJ Stix one of the original members of the Dub Pistols has released his fourth and FREE DOWNLOAD album “Waves”

Way back in 1997 through a mutual friend and Dub Pistols band member Jason O’Bryan, Stix met up with Barry Ashworth to do some scratching over a few of their songs for the Dub Pistols forth coming debut LP “Point Blank” 2 days later Stix was asked by Barry to come and play a show in Oslo Norway. This led onto long term touring of the world both as a DJ and band member performing at various venues, festivals, etc..

After all this time Stix still continues to meet up with Barry for the occasional show or scratch feature and in his spare time he still uses his abilities in the studio to produce hip hop beats hence the new 33 track LP.

“Waves” is all about digging the crates (real vinyl) so expect lots of static and quirky samples laced with some heavy kicks and snares and DJ Stix turntable skills to boot.

It is a free download so if you enjoy please share.

We’re very excited about this year, and with our strongest line-up to date we aim to deliver the best boutique festival experience in the UK. Saturday 30th May can’t come soon enough!”
