The festival has become a fixture of Lancashire’s musical calendar attracting more than 20,000 party goers each year to the heart of the Ribble Valley.

A Beat-Herder spokesman said: "Beat-Herder has been a ​truly independent festival since the day of conception back in 2006 when six friends decided to start bringing music to the people of Lancashire; 15 years on and the original founders still have full creative curation across the weekend-long party which has been donned a visionary haven.

"No detail is too small for Beat-Herder and the site is full of surprises around each corner, offering festival-goers an experience like no other across 20 venues in fairytale-like settings. This festival is not only for the true music fan, but for the party fanatic."

"With new venues, new installations, new surprises, we are hell-bent on maintaining the trademark ‘off the scale party atmosphere’.”
