Details appear to be sketchy at best right down, but word of a new festival from the people behind Shine & The Stiff Kitten - Belsonic - have started appearing both online and in local newspapers. Held over (at least) four days at Custom House Square, The Flaming Lips have been confirmed as headliners for Monday 11th August - with local indie-popsters Oppenheimer also chipping in as support. Expect more of the lineup to emerge in the coming week as the site goes live to deal with tickets for the ‘Lips this coming Monday (12th).

Not discounting The Flaming Lips - who put on one of the most amazing live performances I’ve ever witnessed - this has the potential to be exciting yet. Expect regular updates!

Update: The Zutons now confirmed to headline the 15th.
