As well as the London exclusive festival appearance of Bombay Bicycle Club, a huge slot from Ben Howard and with many more acts to be announced, Citadel promise a wide range of eclectic goings on. 

"We're so excited about this one - great to have Bombay Bicycle Club along-side us and we're booking some of our personal favourites to join us on the bill," said Ben Howard. "Going to be a special day.

Jamie MacColl of Bombay Bicycle Club added: “We’re really looking forward to hosting a day of brilliant music (and hopefully sunshine!) with our friend Ben Howard.”

A Citadel spokesman said: "Away from the live music programme, the festival will host some of the city's gastronomic leaders crafting a series of long table Sunday dining experiences whilst Secret Productions' Sunday Papers Live team will host a tent of captivating literary talks, spoken word and debates.

"From markets and expos showcasing East London’s cutting-edge designers and craftsmanship to stages and spaces offering a unique mix of live musicianship and theatre, Citadel will be Victoria Park’s 2015 summer crescendo which celebrates the Sunday pleasures of music, performance, ideas and dining."
