Block9 has announced it's line-up for this year's Glastonbury festival. The acts playing include Seth Troxler, Eat's Everything, and Hot Chip - who'll be performing a special Prince tribute.

Glastonbury Festival 2016 returns to it's traditional home of Worthy Farm in Somerset from 22 June to 26 June, with Muse, Coldplay and Adele headlining.

Block9 is a staple of the festival, and is accurately described as a "24-hour wonderland of heavyweight sound systems, underground nightclubs, huge artworks and extremely alternative performances".

The arena is known for its hedonistic party-goers and fittingly dystopian setting, which includes a 50ft building straight out of Bladerunner - Genosys, a decrepid tower block with a train crashed into its side called London Underground and legendary gay club NYC Downlow, which is cited as one of the best clubs in the world.

Across the three unique areas the likes of Youngsta, Shy FX, The Black Madonna, Roger Sancgez and Andy Butler (Hercules & Love Affair) will also be performing, in what is truly a jam-packed line-up for those who can stay awake. The full list can be seen here.

An unapologetic lover of everything from UKG to garage rock, to anything indie or emo-orientated; Ben has been making up for lost time by going to just about any festival or gig he can sneak into since graduating from University. Having cut his teeth writing for forward-thinking publications like 1883 Magazine, The 405, Gigwise, Public Pressure, and Haptic World he has relished writing on music culture's most ridiculous, asinine qualities to its stratospheric heights. He can be found @Benjaminabutler where he'll be spouting nonsense on anything from the state of modern house music, to the UK festival scene and pop-punk bands or how bar tokens are the worst thing that has happened to live events, ever.
