Daniel Reynolds, one of the organisers, said: 'We had dozens and dozens of people applying to play the festival.

'We sat down and listened to all the bands and there was a very high standard - we were overwhelmed by the response.

'We're all really excited and looking forward to it.'

There will also be a launch night at Open on Thursday, October 2, and a gig at Elm Farm Country House in Horsham St Faith on Friday. October 3.
