To complete a special Friday night dance takeover line-up of Snakehips and TCTS - KYAN is now confirmed, joining Kidnap Kid, who’s recently been on the road with Disclosure. 

As well as the Fields Of Bliss Spa, which is new for 2014, a new stage has also been launched. Taking its cue from the acoustic stage of 2013, The Larch is the place to be in 2014 for the best merging folk and acoustic acts by day, and by night this venue turns into a lively, late-night dance hall for swingers, flappers and vintage ravers.

Blissfields are very pleased to announce the return of its Beer Festival, once more teaming up with the legendary Hobgoblin to offer an array of specially chosen ales – hand picked to best compliment the selection of food available to buy on site. Served from the amazing theatrical Hobgoblin truck bar Blissfields will be providing in total 10 beverages for tasting from around the country, including four local ales/ciders. This will be a perfect accompaniment to the music festival main bar. In addition there will be a selection of cask beers in The Larch as well, which being situated in the craft area, and programming a daily acoustic lineup, is the natural home of real ale on the Blissfields site.

In usual Blissfields tradition, this second wave includes some of the most acclaimed artists from a varied spectrum of music including the world of pop, indie, folk - and with the addition of Radio 1 “In New DJ’s We Trust” presenter Éclair Fifi – dance music as well. The festival’s mission to bring a truly eclectic event, without compromise, to an intimate setting is once again at the core of its 2014 ethos.
