The 2016 edition of SHIINE ON sees Echo & The Bunnymen, Shed Seven, Cast, Black Grape and The Bluetones play the event for the first time whilst one of the stand out performers from last year — THE WONDER STUFF —victoriously return.

The main stage also sees performances by very special guests HOUSE OF LOVE with further announcements to come in the coming months.

The dance stage once again hosts some enticing acts including Paul Hartnoll who will be closing the event, playing a 90-minute set of new material and Orbital classics. Paul will be joined by Utah Saints and Eddy Temple Morris.

Bentley Rhythm Ace make a live return on the Saturday joined by DJ sets from Will White (PROPELLERHEADS) and King of the beats Cut la Roc.

Exhibitions and pool parties are to be announced in due course with a lot to live up to after the now legendary BEZ’S POOL PARTY and Pete McKee’s Thud Crackle Pop exhibition. Tickets at early bird prices are on the verge of selling out and with the latest line up announcements a sell-out is expected.
