Welsh hotshots Catfish And The Bottlemen have experienced quite the head rush in the last year, enjoying a steep incline to the top following the release of their 2016 album The Ride. Brandishing the same youthful exuberance as that entrenched in the core of their music, the Bottlemen are quickly becoming festival favourites for their spritely performances, with further evidence sure to come at Community Festival in July. Also set to appear, Liverpool trio The Wombats come armed with a series of sing-along classics, with tracks such as ‘Moving To New York’ ready and waiting in the repertoire.

Steely duo Slaves offer will arrive to shake up the orderly proceedings of the day, while further performances are set to come from new-comers The Hunna and Nothing But Thieves.
