Now in its 14th year Nozstock The Hidden Valley is proud to announce yet another stellar selection of acts that include legendary DnB pioneer ANDY C with MC GQ, sing-a-long rockers THE PROCLAIMERS and the mighty dance floor destroyers, DREADZONE.  Early Bird tickets are also now on sale.

The Hidden Valley is landscaped around a ramshackle Tudor farmhouse. A converted cowshed, the CUBICLES, pushes out sub-thumping drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep. Alongside the farmhouse is the GARDEN STAGE, which provides a more eclectic line up, turning electronic by sundown.  Meanwhile THE BULLPEN houses the festival’s Hip-Hop offering and THE COPPICE will keep the psychedelic trance pumping until the early hours.  

Set at the side of the gently sloping valley is the ORCHARD stage. Further music, theatre, comedy stages and tents are located in secret woodland glades around the site.
