The veteran singer-songwriter John Otway will headline The Willow Stage on Saturday.
And representing local talent will be Flamboyant Bella and Exit Avenue who will headline the new BBC Introducing stage on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Performance director Steve Smither said: "This year's festival will continue the tradition of bringing musical diversity from our local community as well as introducing music and artists from around the world. We have performers from America, Madagascar and Niger as well as a Welsh language folk band and a choir performing 'shape note' music."
