It is great to be back at Homelands

A number of the UK's club promoters are collaborating to operate different stages at the event, which takes place at the Bowl near Winchester in Hampshire.

The festival is to be extended by a day to take advantage of the Golden Jubilee holiday on Monday 3 June, to mark the 50th year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix will again team up to run the event's main DJ stage.

Judge Jules will appear on the Radio 1 stage

Closing the music on Radio 1's massive outdoor stage will be a three hour set from Carl Cox.

After sundown BBC Radio 1 moves to what has been described as "an aircraft hanger of a tent for some 10,000 people".

"It is great to be back at Homelands - as an event it kick starts the summer of dance music on Radio 1," said the station's Matt Priest.

"Last year the Outdoor stage was superb, the sunshine kept some 15,000 people out of the tents and dancing in the open air."

Other clubs bringing their own sounds and stages to the event will include Burnley-based Retro and Ibiza's Space.
