Joining headliners The Wombats will be Mercury Prize winner Ms Dynamite, dance legends Utah Saints and oldskool rave champions The Ratpack. Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell has also been announced.

Comprising of some of the very best contemporary artists and alternative cool break through acts, Shrewsbury Fields Forever is a fusion of music, artistic expression with a sprinkling of community stuff and new for 2012 a plethora of 'as seen on TV' comedians on the Sunday.

More than 60 acts are set to appear across the weekend, with the full-line up due to be revealed over the coming weeks. 

Festival director, Dene Edwards, said: “We are really excited about this year’s event. Last year laid a good foundation to what we really want to do with the festival in the future, starting with this year’s event.

“We have many new additions, some fantastic acts and some new ideas nurtured out of what has been requested by fans or learnt from last year’s event.

Limited earlybird tickets are available now, priced at just £48 for the entire weekend with camping.  But these are selling fast - so we'd advise early booking if you want to take advantage of this great price.
