Nozstock The Hidden Valley festival has announced its second wave of names, plus a brand new stage, The Elephant’s Grave, an inviting wooded escape with an overhead canopy, adjacent to one of the festival’s lakes, and the new area, Bluejay’s Jazz Lounge, which will be headlined by Bromyard's own Remi Harris.

Curated by the father and daughter duo of Noz and Ella and a huge extended family who work across the entire festival, there’s a unique charm and energy to Nozstock unlike anything else in the country, and this year marks its 19th outing, having grown organically from the original family barbecue.

New artists include The Sugarhill Gang, an American hip-hop group famed for their iconic 1979 hit Rapper's Delight, Hayseed Dixie, the inspired and hard-rocking exponents of Appalachian Mountain hillbilly rave-ups, Levelz, a multi-faceted collective of MCs, DJs and producers who have been feted as Wu Tang Clan meets Happy Mondays, Ferocious Dog, Goldie Lookin’ Chain, The Baghdaddies, Le Galaxie, Freestylers and Benny Page, who join the already announced Seasick Steve, Happy Mondays, General Levy, Ocean Wisdom, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Beans on Toast, Rodney P & Skitz, The Correspondents, Krafty Kuts & Dynamite MC, Delta Heavy and many more.

The award-winning festival will be looking to exceed its 2016 achievements: shortlisted more than any other in the UK Festival Awards, winner of A Greener Festival award, and winner of Best Festival in the Visit Herefordshire Awards (with partner festival Hereford River Carnival), and Outstanding Attitude Award for access efforts.
