The organisers behind Bristol’s TOKYO DUB have announced the initial line-up details for their inaugural festival later this summer.

The first major line-up release for the 2013 Boomtown Fair can now be revealed, including TOOTS AND THE MAYTALS, RICHIE SPICE, COLLIE BUDDZ and the NEW KINGSTON BAND along with Jamaican music pioneer LEE “SCRATCH” PERRY.

The Red Bull regional tour reaches Bristol later this month (12 October) with a big show at Motion, Temple Meads.

Capacity is limited due to the set-up of the show, including four sound systems, and tickets cost just £5.

RONI SIZE, DYNAMITE MC and BABYHEAD are among the recently announced acts for BrisFest 2012 taking place on 22-23 September.

The full information and artist line-up can now be revealed for the 2gether As One festival in Bristol after the St Pauls Carnival was scrapped last month.

The carnival alternative takes place on 7 July (the weekend the carnival was due to be held) from 2pm until 6am the following day across eight clubs in Stokes Croft.
