Love Saves The Day names Four Tet, Armand Van Helden and Damian Marley among its first 2027 acts

The Bristol festival returns to Ashton Court on May 29–30, 2027. Tickets go on sale on Friday, Nov 6.

Love Saves The Day has named its first wave of artists for 2027, DJ Mag reports. The Bristol festival returns to Ashton Court on May 29 and 30, 2027. Among the first 35 acts are Four Tet, Armand Van Helden and Damian Marley. DJ Mag frames those three as the lead names in the first wave.

Love Saves The Day tickets go on sale Friday

First, tickets go on sale on Friday, Nov 6. They go live at lovesavestheday.org, DJ Mag and the festival site both say. In addition, the official site notes that payment plans will be available. Buyers can secure a ticket with a deposit from as little as £20 plus fees, the site adds.

First names and a Bristol contingent

Also on the early bill are Oppidan and ALISHA. Eats Everything, MPH and Shy FX join them, DJ Mag adds. Girls Don’t Sync, Kings of the Rollers, Saint Ludo, LOU NOUR and Jaz Imsky are listed too.

Meanwhile, a Bristol contingent runs through the first wave. Eva Lazarus, Notion, Dazee and Euphonique are among those set to return, DJ Mag says. Vixen Sound and Firmly Rooted also appear. Dancehall Generals and Dubtento Allstars round out that local block.

What the festival director said

Festival director Tom Paine said the cryptic-clue campaign across Bristol is over. “We’ve had a lot of fun keeping everyone guessing, so we are really excited to finally let everyone know the first 35 acts who will be playing,” he told DJ Mag.

He also called Four Tet, Armand Van Helden and Damian Marley “three very different artists.” In his words, that mix is “exactly what we love about Love Saves The Day.” Finally, he added that “plenty more” names are still to come. In other words, this is an opening chapter rather than a full bill.

Love Saves The Day sits among several UK festivals already naming 2027 acts. For another first wave on BEZ, read BEZ’s report on Four Tet at GALA 2027.
