GUILFEST, Stoke Park, Guilford, Surrey, 13-15 Jul: Candi Staton, Buzzcocks and The Undertones are notable amongst GuilFest’s latest line-up enlistees, and thus co-occupy the festival’s overall bill with Bryan Ferry, Jools Holland, Gary Numan, Tim Minchin and the pop-tastic likes of ‘X-Factor’ affiliates Tulisa, Cher Lloyd and Olly Murs. www.guilfest.co.uk
LOVEBOX, Victoria Park, London, 15-17 Jun: Groove Armada – who will present an exclusive Saturday night spectacular in honour of their festival’s tenth anniversary – are placed topmost on a list of recent Lovebox additions, which also include Maverick Sabre, Crystal Fighters and Saint Saviour. These late line-up arrivals tail the previously announced Grace Jones, Friendly Fires, Crystal Castles, Magnetic Man, Hot Chip and Shy FX. www.lovebox.net
SOUTH WEST FOUR, Clapham Common, London, 25-26 Aug: SW4 issues its fourth roster revelation, promising sets from Max Vangeli & An21, Tim Mason, Brodinski vs Gesaffelstein, Delta Heavy, Loadstar and Jaymo & Andy George.

UNDERAGE, Shoreditch Park, London, 31 Aug: Ever wonder what the kids are listening to nowadays? If the initial roster for this year’s Underage fest (as is open to 13-17 year olds only) is anything to go by, it’s Iceage, Spector, Rustie, Summer Camp, Theme Park, Outft and Pulled Apart By Horses. Oh, and Maverick Sabre, apparently. www.underagefestivals.com
