Why you'll want to go to Wilderness Festival this year

Bastille! Angela Hartnett's Cafe Murano! Mass yoga!

Mix together Burning Man, Coachella and Glastonbury and you've got a fair idea of what Wilderness Festival will be like.

Think arts and crafts, skinny dipping in the lake, lots of glitter and of course, music.

This year, Groove Armada, Bastille and Nile Rodgers & Chic will perform while food will be provided by Yotam Ottolenghi, Angela Hartnett, and Petersham Nursuries. (Yes, sounds delicious, we know.)

Wilderness Festival 2018 lineup

Nile Rodgers & Chic, Bastille and Jon Hopkins are set to headline on each day. Other acts to feature in this year's lineup include Kamasi Washington, Baxter Dury, IAMDDB, Palace, Joy Crookes, Dan Owen, My Baby Billy Lockett and Mahalia.

And, live music lovers are in for a treat with Ronnie Scott's Presents and performances from Massive Violins. Or, if karaoke is more your thing, head to hip hop karaoke or get involved in a mass dance class. Real thrillseekers should make sure to go party at The Love Hotel, too, which made its debut last year and is sure to keep lovebirds, and some, happy again this festival.
