Dan Shake is one of the names on the bill at Show of Hands

A new "community-powered" festival on a farm has revealed its full line-up.

Show of Hands will take place in Bruton, Somerset on the May bank holiday weekend, with a capacity of 2,500 people.

The licence was granted in November last year, despite concerns about noise levels and alcohol consumption being raised during a licensing committee meeting.

Artists including Oscar Jerome, Dan Shake and Charlotte Dos Santos will perform at the event, which organisers say will have a noise management plan.

Acid house producer Ray Keith and DJs La Rumba and Temple Collective are also on the line-up.

Festival director Alex Lane said: "This next wave continues to reflect the spirit of the festival - a space where discovery meets deep-rooted music culture.

"Whether you're here to dance, chill with the family, or get inspired creatively, every set brings something to the table," he added.

The idea of the festival is to let ticket buyers vote on everything from non-music programming to its design.

Attendees, artists and crew will be given access to an online platform where they can propose ideas and vote on others.
