Why it is listed
The official website describes a multi-area festival with several stages, including Lion's Den and Hydro XL (techno/4x4), and most of the featured acts are DJ/electronic (Four Tet, Sub Focus, Wilkinson and others). However, live and pop slots such as Kneecap and Madness are also substantial, so it cannot be called electronic-centered, and it is classified as a general festival (strong dance lineup).
