What is it?

Having scooped 'Best Medium Sized Festival' at last year's UK Festival Awards, Lovebox returns to Hackney's Victoria Park in the heart of London's east end for two days of live music, DJs and adventures. This year pop legends Duran Duran take to the Main Stage on Saturday night for a UK exclusive festival appearance with hip hop crossover collective N*E*R*D, Brit Award winner Florence And The Machine and Friendly Fires also on that day's bill. Sunday sees Lovebox founders Groove Armada take to the Main Stage for their only UK live festival show this year. Also set to return are Lovebox clubland stalwarts Secretsundaze and Horse Meat Disco who will be providing a fine selection of DJs to keep the beats flowing over the weekend. Also, expect performers from Europe's best performing arts festivals, street art exhibition, dedicated family area, the Sourced Farmer's Market, and a whole host of other fabulous food and drinks stalls.
