Calling all lovers of music and extreme sports or fittingly both - Glass butter beach festival is back with a jam packed day full of live acts and entertainment in the perfect setting of Abersoch Bay, Gwynedd between 13th - 16th of August.

This unique festival combines a star ensemble of acts with a vibe set around the beach and the festival's core roots that include surfing, wakeboarding, BMXing and skateboarding.

The festival campsite itself provides scenic views across the bay which is just a minute's stroll away from the beach that houses Tiki & surf bars, a full size Miami lifeguard tower, hidden stages and hot tubs with sea views amongst a lot more.

Commercial house maestro Roger Sanchez enters the bay as part of the whole host of live acts - the Stealth Records kingpin is renowned for his Ibiza residencies and even scored a Grammy Award for his remix of No Doubt's 'Hella Good' (see below). His summery, vocal lead vibes will be a surefire hit at the beach-side festival.

British group Soul II Soul will provide the festival with music drawn from a profusion of genres supplying the crowds with R & B, soul, reggae and dance that has earned them two Brit award nominations and seen them sell 10 million albums worldwide representing the festival line up's real musical pedigree.

Speaking of musical pedigree, pioneering British DJ Norman Jay the godfather of "The Original Rare Groove Show" will exhibit his talents that refuse to be restricted by a single given genre, expect anything from Soul to Dance (see what we mean below).

Also on the agenda is drum n bass luminary Wilkinson, energising electro DJ Goldierocks, grime and dancehall MC Stylo G and in demand Drum 'n' bass star Utah Jazz.  Grab your tickets here
