THE Streets and Groove Armada will headline this May's Homelands Festival.

The 18-hour music marathon takes place on May 28 at the Matterley Estate on the outskirts of Winchester and also features performances by Jazzy Jeff, Dimitri from Paris and Too Many DJs.

More than 80 live acts and DJs are expected at the country's top outdoor dance event, which attracts more than 30,000 revellers every year.

Mike Skinner, aka The Streets is one of the biggest urban music stars in Europe, having sold more than four million albums and notched up eight hit singles. This year he won the Brit Award for Best Male Solo Artist, and his last single, Dry Your Eyes, went straight into the chart top five.

He headlines the Live Arena after previously performing on one of the smaller stages at Homelands in 2003.

Groove Armada, pictured above, are one of the protagonists of British dance and eletronica music, thanks to hits like I See You Baby.

Since first unleashing their sounds on to the charts in 1999, Tom Findlay and Andy Cato have joined the Chemical Brothers as one of the most recognisable dance acts around. They will headline the outdoor stage.
