Ashley Roberts (member of the brilliant Pussycat Dolls), has also been confirmed for The Main Stage on Saturday 19th July.

A Friday night headline slot from the superb Hundred Reasons on 18th July. Originally hailing from Aldershot, this will be the 2nd time the band have performed at GuilFest since their inception back in 1999. Hundred reasons have toured the world many times over and sold over 250,000 records (including 6 top 40 UK singles) in the last fifteen years, securing no less than 3 Kerrang Awards for “Best New Band”, “Best Album” and “Best Unsigned Act”.

A Saturday night headline slot on 19th July from a true legend of drum and bass, Roni Size. Most famous for the underground anthem “Brown Paper Bag”, Roni is one of the undisputed heavyweights of the underground scene. He released a plethora of jungle/drum and bass classics under the Full Cycle and V recordings labels throughout the late nineties and noughties, and even won the Mercury Music Prize with his live band Reprazent in 1997 for the album New Forms.

A Sunday night headline slot on 20th July from brand new rock n roll outfit En Garde. A new act formed from members of Kids In Glass Houses and Attack!Atttack! (whom have both graced the festival over the years) En Garde can be described as loud, full on rock and roll, with a certain “Je ne sais quoi”. Following the critical acclaim of their single “Bar Stool Politics”, they are due to release their debut album “Weekenders” later this year.
