Phase Three will witness the return of SW4 favourites, the iconic Basement Jaxx, with bass master Flux Pavilion also in attendance plus Defected Records queen Sam Divine.

Amassing a huge back-catalogue of former headliners, including Faithless, Skrillex, The Chemical Brothers, deadmau5, Pendulum (Live), Rudimental, Eric Prydz and Above & Beyond, South West Four started as a backyard party in June 2001 and rapidly grew in number over the next couple of years, moving to Clapham Common in August 2004. As the festival progressed, the crowds increased, and the lineups grew bigger and stronger than ever before. In addition to the impressive list of headline acts, the festival is renowned for boasting a number of carefully curated stage hosts which include the likes of Amnesia, ANTS, Playaz and Fatboy Slim's Smile High Club, with last year witnessing the festival debuts of 'B Traits Selects' and Disciples & Danny Howard present 'The Following & Nothing Else Matters'.

With weekend passes at only £99 and selling faster than ever before; South West Four 2018 is looking like the biggest year yet. Further announcements are still to come.
