Amongst the first confirmed acts are; The Feeling, Scott Mills, Utah Saints & Dub Pistols.
Also joining the line-up are Sam and the Womp, The Mighty Offbeats, Antimatador, Jessica and the Rabbits, The Busketeers, The Bob Marley Revival, Black Friday, Company B and Roguey Roads with more names to be announced in the coming weeks.
Organisers of the spring edition of Rattler Fest have said this year's event will be a party unlike any other and the first of its kind in Cornwall.
In the ‘Après Ski Lodge Sessions’, festival goers can enjoy the enthralling atmosphere of an ‘après ski’ before raising the temperature, swapping their salopettes for shorts and heading to ‘Pineapple Beach.'
Revellers can also experience an Orchard Silent Disco, Club Fromage or go head-to-head in competitions such as ‘Mr & Mrs Rattler’ or embark on the challenge of the much-loved ‘Rattler Olympics’.
