Love Saves the Day 2023 line up first look including Fatboy Slim and Years & Years

Fatboy Slim, Years & Years and Kelis have been confirmed among the first wave of artists set to play Love Saves The Day 2023. The award-winning event - and the city's largest independent music festival - attracts ravers from all across the country for its star-studded line up, and 2023 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years yet.

'Right Hear Right Now' DJ, Fatboy Slim, will be headlining the Saturday night (May 27) at Ashton Court from the Love Saves Stage. The pioneering legend of the big beat genre will be joined by an unmissable line-up of artists spanning all different genres including the likes of Andy C, Nia Archives, Piri and pop star Kelis.

Electro-pop band Years & Years, fronted by Olly Alexander, will be closing the show on Sunday (May 28) with their feel-good anthems. They'll be performing on the Love Saves Stage alongside some of the biggest artists of the last few years including Folamour and SG Lewis.

We’ve got one of our strongest line ups we’ve ever had with some of the top drum & bass artists on the scene. Andy C and Hybrid Minds are some of the most iconic figures in global dance music and it’s going to be a highlight of the festival.”

Last year, the festival swapped its usual home of Clifton Downs for Ashton Court for its tenth anniversary. Some 30,000 festival goers made their way to South Bristol each day for the first two days of the Queen's Jubilee bank holiday weekend to see the likes of Chase & Status, Bicep, Mura Masa and Kurupt FM. Organisers confirmed last year the festival would be remaining at Ashton Court for the 2023 edition for the late May Bank Holiday.
