Headliners include Brooklyn-based trio Say She She on Friday, drum and bass veteran Skream on Saturday, and a DJ set from Nightmares on Wax on Sunday.

Joining them are acts such as Emma-Jean Thackray, Hot 8 Brass Band, Calibre, Ewan McVicar, Eris Drew b2b Gallegos, Francois K, Dr Banana, Move D, Gabriels (DJ set), Joshua Idehen, Scientist, and Ishmael Ensemble (DJ set).

Other weekend highlights include a 30th-anniversary stage takeover by Hospital Records on Friday, featuring sets from London Elektricity, Lens, DJ Zinc, and Makoto.

Saturday’s line-up also includes performances from Ewen McVicar, Calibre, and Francois K, while Sunday will feature Kokoroko, Hot 8 Brass Band, and Loco Cricket.

Stowaway offers more than just music, with wild swimming, canoeing, paddle boarding, a lakeside woodland spa, wellness sessions, and a variety of children's activities included in the ticket price.

The festival also promises curated artisan food and drink options, with a mix of healthy and indulgent choices, craft beers, cocktails, and low- and no-alcohol drinks.

Since launching in 2022, Stowaway has grown steadily under the direction of founder Duncan Wheeler, who grew up on Blackpit Farm.

Fab Festivals said: "What makes Stowaway unique isn’t just their music or food, it’s the vibe.

"Everyone is there to have fun, smile, and make memories."

Stowaway is fully independent, with no corporate sponsors, and focuses on creating a welcoming environment for all ages.

This year, the festival has seen a growth in attendance of more than 20 per cent, defying wider industry challenges in the festival sector.

Its reputation for combining eclectic electronic music with a family-friendly atmosphere has drawn praise from national media.

The Guardian described the event as one that balances 'the sometimes incompatible concepts of ‘electronic music’ and ‘kid-friendly’.'

Record Of The Day compared it to 'a mini version of the Big Chill' with a 'no-branding ethos, incredible lighting, lots of free activities for the kids, all stuck together with a big dollop of love.'
