Returning to the main stage is dubstep pioneer, Skream. Having performed with Benga in 2008, and last year with Magnetic Man, Skream returns to the fortress on Sunday, July 15 with SGT Pokes.

The opening night of the festival will be crowned by true D’n’B chaos, Sub Focus take to the stage. Nick Douwma's rise through the ranks of underground drum & bass has been nothing short of spectacular. Since releasing his self titled triumphant 2009 debut which featured hits "Rock It" and "Follow The Light", Sub Focus has been pushing the boundaries with his live show, and working hard in the studio. Earlier this month he released "Out The Blue" feat. Alice Gold, a ready made summer anthem and an introduction to his second full-length album.

He champions artists from a variety of music genres through his daily radio shows, with an intention to fill the gap between mainstream and genre-oriented audience.

Another performance will satisfy the needs of all electro fans. Jon Convex, known for his D’n’B works within the project “Instra:mental“, where Convex is joined by Boddika. While Trevino, known in the D’n’B circles as Marcus Intalex steps up on Happynovisad Stage.
