Gottwood Announce Lineup For 2016

Intimate party-in-a-forest and R$N favourite Gottwood Festival have announced the first wave of artists to play next year's celebration of electronic music and arts.

Joining returning favourites Craig Richards and Ben UFO – who play back-to-back in the mystical forest for a second year running – will be Andrew Weatherall and Roman Flügel (also b2b), Nick Höppner, Joy Orbison, Prosumer and many more, in what the organisers have called 'the strongest and most encompassing lineup yet'.

They folks behind the festival celebrated for its intimacy have also pleasingly announced that the seventh instalment next June will not see an increase in size, but that they will be opening more stages 'in some very interesting places'.
