13 bands you need to see at this weekend's Beacons Festival
Years & Years, PINS, Woman's Hour and more
Cate Le Bon: Le Bon's ethereal vocals and atmospheric back-catalogue undoubtedly prove most effective live. Tracks such as 'Are You With Me Now' and 'Sisters' are a strange mix of sombre and uplifting; a combination which perfectly complements hungover, rainy festival afternoons. There's also not many acts who sing in both English and Welsh. (Photo by Danny Payne)

With such an abundance of specialist genre festivals around at the moment, Beacons Festival is one that decidedly refuses to be pigeon-holed. The only thing that links all the acts on this year's line-up is that they're all (bar one or two, let's not get too carried away) pretty brilliant.
The line-up for this year's edition of the Yorkshire Dales festival includes Cate Le Bon, Jon Hopkins, Years & Years, and many more. It's fast approaching (kicking off on Thursday 7 August and running till Sunday 10 August), so if you're planning on going, here's an essential artist hit list for you.
Make sure you don't miss them.
