DF Concerts & Events CEO, Geoff Ellis, said:
“We are delighted to be announcing our line-up for Connect today. For some time now, we have been working tirelessly and carefully to curate a captivating line-up for the first edition of our new iteration, and we have been really excited to share it."

More about the music festival
The event page notes that the full main stage lineup, DJs, and acts are stretched across three stages. There is also a wellness area, speakeasy, boutique camping, chefs, VIP experiences, and fantastic food and drink experiences.
The organizer of the festival, George Ellis, said:
“While Connect is a brand new festival proposition, it will still retain many qualities from – and the ethos of – its namesake from 2007 and 2008, especially regarding the music, entertainment, food and drink programmes."
The music festival from the 2000s that Ellis was referring to took place on the grounds of Inveraray Castle in Scotland and was aimed at more mature music fans. The headliners for the fest included the Beastie Boys, Björk, and Franz Ferdinand.
