Four Tet will headline the Love Saves The Day 2027 lineup, with Armand Van Helden, Damian Marley and Shy FX also in the first wave for Ashton Court in Bristol. The festival runs on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 May 2027, over the late May bank holiday weekend.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, 6 November, through the official Love Saves The Day site. Payment plans start with a £20 deposit plus fees.
Four Tet and Armand Van Helden lead the first wave
Kieran Hebden returns to Bristol at the top of the bill. Armand Van Helden brings the house side, and Groove Armada are booked for a DJ set. Damian Marley is the reggae headliner, which fits a festival that has always mixed sound system culture in with its dance stages.
Saoirse, ALISHA and SOSA cover house and techno. L.P. Rhythm, Jamback and Sis:Dem are also on the poster.
Shy FX and Kings of the Rollers fly the drum & bass flag
The bass end of this first announcement is strong. Shy FX is joined by Kings of the Rollers, Benny L and Harriet Jaxxon. Eva Lazarus brings her mix of reggae, jungle and bass, while Oppidan and MPH carry the UK garage side after a big year for both.
Bristol’s own crews get plenty of room too. Dazee, Euphonique, Fluro, Vixen Sound, Firmly Rooted, SLIQ, Sufi and 4Eleven are back, alongside Dancehall Generals and Dubtento Allstars.

Festival director Tom Paine said people across Bristol had been “getting stuck into the clues” before the reveal. “Four Tet, Armand Van Helden and Damian Marley are three very different artists, and that’s exactly what we love about Love Saves The Day,” he said. “This is just the first announcement, so there’s plenty more to come.”
More names will follow before May. Up in Leeds, the Mint Festival 2027 first wave is already out for the early May bank holiday.
