Dean Inns, co-owner of festival organisers Harpenden Arts Limited, said: "The UK has one of the best music scenes in the world and having a festival to support new music and supporting those artists who are starting out on their journeys is really important, allowing (them) to perform to a broad audience at our family friendly festival."

Prices start at £15, with tickets available via the festival's website www.harpenden-live.co.uk
