Lovebox 2010 - More Acts Announced!

Lovebox

Lovebox has added to its phenomenal 2010 line-up with the announcement of a second wave of acts including; legendary art-rock pioneers Roxy Music, music and style icon Grace Jones, super-producer Mark Ronson & The Business, the massively acclaimed Empire of the Sun and beloved electro pop-juggernauts Hot Chip. London's premiere festival which will take place in Victoria Park from the 16th-18th July 2010 will also play host to The Maccabees, Ellie Goulding and the Noisettes at the newly expanded three day event.

Friday
Headlined by Brit award-winning, hip-hop impresario Dizzee Rascal, the new Friday will showcase the very best in dance and pop including the enchanting Ellie Goulding and pop trio the Noisettes while Brighton based indie rockers The Maccabees will headline the Gaymers Stage.

Friday will also play host to some of the hippest names on the dance music scene, with Italian DJ duo Crookers making their only London festival appearance, superstar club DJ's Brodinski and Sinden taking to the stage and arguably Europe's hottest DJ property for 2010, Riva Starr, joining the bill. While over in the NYC Downlow, Zinc and Dynamite MC, Toddla T, MJ Cole, and 2009's favourite producer, on a London festival exclusive, Joy Orbison will be keeping things mighty real.

Saturday
The Lovebox crowd will be in for a rare treat when the phenomenal Roxy Music take to the main stage on the Saturday night. Fans of the band should visit www.lovebox.net to see exclusive audio and video content released by Roxy Music to celebrate their headline spot.

Bryan Ferry said "There is a song on my album that I have co-written with my friends Groove Armada. They asked me if Roxy would like to perform at Lovebox. We of course thought it would be cool."

The newly-formed Mark Ronson & the Business will be joining them on the bill, alongside the acclaimed Empire of the Sun who are playing their first ever London show.

Mark Ronson said "Lovebox is the first festival that ever let me perform with the Version players (my band). And to go from that memory in 2006 to playing there last year, on stage with my childhood heroes Duran Duran is really something. We will certainly do our best to make this our best Lovebox performance yet."
