Wild Life Returns For A Second Year

After last year’s sold out debut, Disclosure and Rudimental’s Wild Life Festival returns in 2016 for a second instalment at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham this June. The festival, like last year, will feature a number of huge artists and international superstars in what will be one of the best UK music festivals of the summer.

With a massively successful 18 months behind them, Disclosure will this year headline the Saturday night of the festival. The Surrey duo released second album ‘Caracal’ featuring Sam Smith and a range of other artists in September last year, as well as selling out three nights at London’s Alexandra Palace in the Autumn. With a busy summer ahead, appearing at festivals all over the globe, Disclosure are rapidly becoming one of the best live dance acts around.

Joining Disclosure on the Saturday main stage bill will be BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac, for her second Wildlife appearance, and London grime sensation Skepta. Not to mention rapper Busta Rhymes, reggae legend David Rodigan, Chronnix and Zincfence, Redepemption and Frances.

Headlining the Sunday night of Wild Life will be Hackney dance group Rudimental. The four-piece, like Disclosure, have had a massively successful 18 months, releasing their second album dubbed ‘We the Generation’. This featured pop sensation Ed Sheeran and a whole host of big names, as well as selling out a full headline UK tour, which featured a show at London’s O2 Arena.

Joining Rudimental on the Sunday main stage bill will be US superstar rapper and actor Ice Cube, London rock quartet Bastille and Hertfordshire singer-songwriter James Bay. Also appearing on Sunday on the main stage are Jack Garratt, grime man Stormzy, Anne Marie and Jorja Smith.

Like last year, Wild Life will feature the ‘Warehouse Project Presents’ stage that will feature a large number of top dance acts.

Sunday will see the WHP Presents stage headlined by oldham house and techno producer Carl Cox, playing with The Martinez Brothers, Dixon, Gerd Janson, Midland, Jasper James and Krysko.

Australian producer Flume will make his Wild Life debut when he headlines the Wild Life Big Top on the Saturday, after performances from De La Soul, Ratboy, Mura Masa, Julio Bashmore, SG Lewis and Rag N Bone Man. Sunday will see a Big Top headline show from Katranada, with performances also coming from Pusha T, Todd Terje, Jamie Woon, Goldlink, Snakehips, Izzy Bizzu and Maribou State (DJ set).
