Love Saves The Day unveil huge 2019 lineup featuring Lily Allen, Peggy Gou, Chase & Status and more
Posted on: 24 Jan 2019Team Love's all-encompassing two-day extravaganza is back in 2019 for its 8th Chapter, and the organisers have come up with the goods to deliver what looks like one of their biggest lineups yet. The city's favourite dance music festival is set to welcome the likes of Lily Allen, Chase & Status, Maribou State, Sub Focus, Peggy Gou, Bonobo, slowthai and many more to Eastville Park on Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th May - find all the details below.
Love Saves The Day is showing no signs of slowing down following a mammoth 7th edition in 2018 that saw Sampha, Fatboy Slim, Tom Misch, Four Tet and more perform, with another diverse programme catering for the needs of any and all electronic music fans. An eclectic mix of established names and fresh UK talent, this year's LSTD is set to be unlike any before it.
Saturday's main stage is one to watch as Lily Allen makes her LSTD debut as the first headliner, still riding high off the success of her 2018 album No Shame. She's backed up by the likes of Ninja Tune signees and renowned live performers Maribou State, the formidable IAMDDB, fiercely unique rising star and online sensation Jimothy Lacoste and Bristol trio Elder Island. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of another very special Saturday main stage act, yet to be announced.
The Center Stage belongs to drum & bass aficionados RUN throughout the entirety of the first day as they welcome the likes of renowned bass innovator Sub Focus, legend of the scene DJ Hype, Noisia, dnb supergroup Problem Central and more to Eastville Park.
On the other end of the dance music spectrum and serving up some of the very finest house and techno out there will be Palms Trax, Rush Hour boss and renowned crate-digger Antal, Orpheu the Wizard, and, of course, Futureboogie heads Dave Harvey & Christophe, while Artwork, Horse Meat Disco and Gideon will be on disco duty at the Lost Gardens stage.
Moving on to Sunday and renowned UK double act Chase and Status will be bringing their all-new, jungle-focused sound to Bristol as the night's main stage headliners, enlisting the help of Skibadee, Rage, Shabba D, General Levy and Brockie and Det for a blistering Return II Jungle marathon set. They'll be joined by rising London rapper Not3s, Ocean Wisdom, Ray BLK, Congo Natty and the Rezistance, Ms Dynamite and the all-conquering 24hr Garage Girls crew.
Firmly nested at the forefront of the UK bass scene, The Blast have put together a massive billing for the Lonely Hearts Club stage on Sunday. None other than the legendary David Rodigan will be making his return to the festival following a barnstorming 2018 appearance with the Outlook Orchestra, and he'll be joined by the likes of Holy Goof, Notion, grime queen Lady Leshurr and more.
Sunday's house & techno programme is a very enticing prospect this year, with some of the scene's best-loved artists coming together to get the party started on the Paradiso and Center stages. Glaswegian powerhouse Denis Sulta makes his return to Eastville Park, joined by Midland, Rinse FM resident Josey Rebelle, Mella Dee and HAAi for a Center Stage Sulta Selects takeover that'll certainly be keeping the energy sky high from start to finish.
The Paradiso stage, meanwhile, will be home to a four-act billing big enough to rival any event in the UK. Bonafide superstar DJ Peggy Gou, master craftsman DJ Seinfeld and celebrated Kiwi duo Chaos in the CBD will provide the soundtrack all day before a hotly-anticipated DJ set from the one and only Bonobo.
This year's Love Saves The Day festival, taking place on Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th May 2019 in Eastville Park, Bristol, is not one to be missed. Tickets are on sale now but are moving fast - act now and book yours here to avoid missing out!
