One of the Westcountry's best-loved festivals, Chagstock, is set in 45 acres of farmland on the edge of Dartmoor.
The Saturday night headliners are The Boomtown Rats, Billy Bragg and Dizraeli and the Small Gods and on Friday headliners are Mystery Jets and Yes Sir Boss.
This year's fancy dress theme will be Circus.
Chagstock showcases the very best music, food and entertainment that the Westcountry has to offer. The capacity is capped at just 5,000 tickets to ensure that its intimate, family-friendly atmosphere is maintained.

As darkness falls, Debussy’s quartet explores a unique sound-world, perfect for the wonderful acoustics of The Old Chapel.
