London festival Lovebox, formerly a one day thing, has announced that it is adding an extra day to the event, which will take now place from 23 - 24 Jul in Victoria Park. As well as sets from such acts as Mylo and The Bees, the Lovebox weekend will see two performances from festival organisers Groove Armada in their only live dates of 2005. GA's Andy Cato says: "This is about more than GA, we're trying to create a festival in town, not just dance music in the park. We've brought in the best festival organizers from around the country to create a genuine atmosphere - a real Glastonbury feel for Londoners. There's going to be so much to see and do here, this time we've got to end the days out there and in amongst it, watching the main stage at our own, independent festival."
