The UK has a new double music festival this year, which combines both live bands and DJs closely on the same bill.

Hi:Fi is the branchild of The Angel Music Group, who are responsible for dance festival Godskitchen Global Gathering, and will take place on Saturday 27 May and Sunday 28 May in both the north and south of England simultaneously.

Festival organiser James Algate said: "Hi:Fi is the festival for the iPod generation.

"The event will offer something for everyone musically by bridging the
gap between out and out
dance and live shows.

"We want to give our guests the opportunity to see their indie and dance heroes performing side by side for the first time."

Hi:Fi North

Hi:Fi North will take place at Matfen Estate near Newcastle on 27 May, and will feature dance heroes Sasha & Digweed, 2manyDJs, Pete Tong, Erick Morillo, Armin van Buuren, and Paul Oakenfold alongside indie acts Ian Brown, Editors, and Maximo Park.

Hi:Fi South

Hi:Fi South will take place over two days in the Matterley Bowl Estate near Winchester, the site of the legendary, but now defunct dance event Homelands.

This is the first time that a camping festival has taken place in the Matterley Bowl.

Sasha & Digweed, Erick Morillo, 2manyDJs and Paul Oakenfold will make the trek down from Newcastle to perform at Hi:Fi South on the Sunday.

Dance champ Mylo will also appear, as will Carl Cox, and Lemon Jelly, alongside Hard-Fi, Super Furry Animals, Go Team, and Subways.

Richard Archer from Hard-Fi said: "We're really looking forward to this one.

"Hi:Fi is going to be our first festival headline show.

"We're going to make a proper weekend of it, and we'll definitely be sticking around for Ian Brown on the Sunday – he's a true legend."
