Line-ups, updates and news for Lovebox 2011

Where: Victoria Park, East London
When:  15th - 17th July 2011
How much: Day tickets £28.50, two days £65, three days £99

London's biggest and most flamboyant festival, Lovebox has been rolling its circus of delights into East London's beautiful Victoria Park for eight years now. Organised in association with the mighty Groove Armada, the festival always secures absolutely stellar headliners (Manu Chao, Grace Jones, Jamiroquai, Sly and The Family Stone, Roxy Music) as well as attracting some of the capital's most cutting edge dance music promoters to host areas.

In previous years the secretsundaze and mulletover day raves were the place to get your fix of sunshine beats. This year, they have very wisely given arenas to French electro topdogs Ed Banger, dubstep leaders FWD and Rinse and DnB surgeons Hospitality. They have gone more massive than ever with their line-up too. Thrillingly they have booked Snoop Dogg for Saturday night. The man will play 'Doggystyle' in its entirety. Yes. It's true. Other gems include Swedish pop legend Robyn, Scissor Sisters, 2ManyDJs, The Drums, Blondie and The Wombats.

Applauded for its carnival atmosphere and eclectic programming, Lovebox has picked up a wealth of awards from the UK Festival Awards, including the Party People Award For Dance Music in 2006 and Best Medium Sized Festival in 2008.

It's an all-singing, all-dancing absolute smash of a festival, right here in London. You'd be a fool to miss it. Especially when the line-up looks like this:
