Leamington band Nizlopi will perform at Warwick Folk Festival.
The annual celebration of folk music, song and dance is now just two weeks away. This year's concert line-up will also include Bellowhead, Rachel Unthank and the Winterset among many other artists.
In addition to the concerts, the festival within a festival that is the Percussion Convention will bring a particular focus to workshops.
Festival director Dick Dixon said: "Every year we focus on one instrument group and have a whole series of workshops and concerts based on it.
"This year we are focusing on percussion, but as always, there will be all sorts of other dance and guitar workshops as well.
"With the festival being located on the Warwick school site we have nine venues in total, and five concert venues, so we can guarantee that there is always something happening.
"Last year around 20,000 people attended and we have improved the festival line up for this year with wider ranging programmes and more renowned artists.
"Personally, I'm really keen to see Bellowhead on the Saturday night, and Tony Benn and Roy Bailey on the Sunday."
