While Jessie J, JLS, Union J and Amelia Lily will be performing on the main stage on the Sunday, with Hospitality’s Stage 2 line-up featuring sets by the likes of Netsky and Danny Byrd.

Sundown Festival spokesman, Dion Clements, said: “With its distinct upbeat house music style, Hed Kandi is a truly global brand that we’re very pleased to welcome to our Warehouse stage for the campers after show closing party.”
