Festibelly returns, bigger and better, to the lush surroundings of the New Forest, Hampshire for its third year of music and fun. With two sell-out years under its belt, Festibelly has grown from 500 capacity beginnings in 2008 to a 2,000 capacity festival in 2010. The original intimate Festibelly vibe remains however, offering an up-close and personal experience of top live music, DJs, art and food in the surroundings of the wonderful New Forest countryside.

Additional areas to the main stage this year include: an acoustic stage hosting music, comedy and the return of the Folk Off! competition, a late night disco and campfire, and Secret Wars also return with live art battles and installations in their own arena. Supporting local industry, Festibelly features the best haute cuisine the New Forest has to offer - from hog roasts to falafel.

The Invisible. Towards the end of 2006, three friends - Dave Okumu, Tom Herbert and Leo Taylor - started work on what was initially intended as Dave's solo project. An exciting, beautiful album gradually emerged and during the process of its creation the three Londoners fused into a fully-fledged trio. The Invisible's self titled debut album went on to be nominated for the 2009 Mercury Music Prize.

Man Like Me. Led by mild-mannered Camden pin-up Johnny Langer, Man Like Me combine indie, rave, grime, ska and hip hop with matter-of-fact lyrics to create an unquestionably youthful British sound. They follow a lineage of artists such as Ian Dury, The Specials, Hot Chip and The Streets in making the everyday sound extraordinary.

King Charles. 2009 was a busy year for West London's King Charles. His debut single, 'Time of Eternity' was played by Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens, Rob Da Bank and Zane Lowe, he's spent the past year gigging everywhere from Glastonbury to tiny venues in the middle of nowhere to a support slot with Mumford & Sons and has recorded his debut album due for release this year.

My Tiger My Timing. My Tiger My Timing (brother and sister Anna Vincent and James Vincent, Jamie Harrison, Gary Drain and Seb Underhill) are named after a track by New York artist Arthur Russell and have recently recorded a version of his song Arm Around You for a covers album on the Electric Minds label. They have also contributed songs to Modular's Leave Them All Behind Vol 3 compilation, French label Sisterphunk's Sisters EP and the recent Kitsuné Maison 8 sampler, alongside artists like Delphic, Chew Lips and Crystal Fighters.

Tek-One. Tek-One are a duo who create the heaviest dubstep out of circuit bent children's toys, broken keyboards, short-circuited toy amps, anything with AA batteries and a low bit-rate that was built in Taiwan and designed to amuse a young child for 30 seconds. The live show also incorporates DJing, live drums, synths, FX and needs to be seen to be believed.

More details to be announced soon.
