Love Saves The Day returns to Bristol for 2024, with headline acts including Rudimental and Sub Focus.

The city's biggest music festival will welcome thousands of fans to Ashton Court from Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 May.

Across eight stages, the diverse line-up will welcome household names, along with up-and-coming and local artists.

Last year more than 55,000 festival goers attended the music-packed bank holiday weekend.

As Team Love finalises the line up, performers like CamelPhat, The Streets, Wilkinson, and a whole host of stellar live D&B, dance and electronic acts and DJs are already set to perform.

Groove Armada is also booked to take over the stage, after almost 20 years as one of the best-selling electronic dance acts in the world.

Tom Paine, festival director at Love Saves The Day, said: "We are always honoured to kickstart the festival season with Love Saves The Day.

"We've built up such a beautiful community from the people who put the festival together, the artists who perform on our stages and the people who come along every year for a good time.

"It's absolutely amazing, and we can't wait to be back at Ashton Court for 2024," he added.

Festival-goers will also get to enjoy a show of "cinematic audio-visual excellence" from Sub Focus presents Evolve, with only a handful of these performances set to take place in the UK.

Many more performers are still yet to be announced by festival organisers.
