Fun Lovin Criminals were formed in New York in 1993 by nightclub-working colleagues Huey and Fast, FLC gate-crashed the euphoric Britpop party in 1996 and brought along some unexpectedly unique swag, the generational classic album ‘Come Find Yourself’ which gave us the cackling refrain “stick ‘em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin Criminal” and the Pulp Fiction–sampling ‘Scooby Snacks’.

Hertfordshire quartet Lower Than Atlantis are ready to take on all corners. With only a little over a year since the release of their critically lauded debut album ‘Far Q’; LTA have ascended from UK underground scene obscurity to mainstream radio & TV exposure, with high profile UK, European & North American tours, festivals & all manner of end of year list accolades in the national music press.

Senser are a politically charged UK band who's musical style has most often been classified as rap rock. In 1993 Senser released two indie chart topping singles on Ultimate — "Eject" and "The Key" — and during the summer they played most of the major festivals. The band found themselves on stage alongside Rage Against the Machine (with whom they were compared), The Levellers and Chumbawamba. The band are currently working hard on a new Senser album.

These new acts will join: Tinchy Stryder, Buzzcocks, The Subways, Dr & the Medics, The Lottery Winners, Chris Helme, Pikey Beatz, Goldie Lookin Chain DJ's Rhys and Eggsy, Dub Pistols Soundsystem DJ & MC Set, Albany Down, Alex Elliott, Awol, Cat Like Thief, Collision, Colt45, Committed to Rock Choir, Crow Dog, Daddysmilk, Five and Dangerous, Flick, Gavin Mckew, Highly Strung, House of Three Hands, Jeramiah Ferrai, Karl Phillips & the Midnight Ramblers, Leroy Johnson & the Flicks, Mama-Sang and the Robot, Obrigado, Room 101, Rossi Noise, Secure Unit, Sneaky Finch, Solway Deltas, Southgate and Leigh, Teenage Mary, The Indices, The Lights, The Stiggz, The Sun Explodes, Tin Soldiers and Vertigo.
