Chagstock Fesival organisers have announced that with less than two weeks to go until the festival gates open, only limited numbers of day and weekend tickets are now remaining.

The event has sold out for the last three years running, and it is likely that this will happen again in 2015!

Chagstock is one of the Westcountry's best-loved festivals. Set in 70 acres of farmland on the edge of Dartmoor, Chagstock is renowned for its stunning location, diverse line-up of artists and non-corporate, family friendly atmosphere. Chagstock showcases the very best music, food and entertainment that the Westcountry and the UK have to offer.

Levellers are Main Stage Saturday night Headliner. With their own Beautiful Days festival now sold out, this is the only opportunity to see this massively popular folk-punk band perform in the Westcountry this summer.

Headlining the main stage on Friday are mighty alt-rockers, New Model Army. Their incredible stage presence, combined with a massive back catalogue of classic songs from across their 35-year history, makes them the ideal band to round off the first evening at Chagstock.

Also on the Friday main stage line up are Neville Staple Band, whose frontman has been at the vanguard of Ska since joining the Specials back in 1978. BBC Folk Award nominee Martha Tilston, and Irish Music Award winning Celtic Fusion act Roving Crows.

Alongside Levellers, Saturday's main stage line up includes Seth Lakeman, house band New Crisis, raucous six-piece electro swing band Electric Swing Circus and female-fronted reggae band Dojo.

Headlining the Marquee on Friday are the wildly popular Plymouth based Folk-Gypsy-Pop band Mad Dog Mcrea. They are joined by Police Dog Hogan who are making a real name for themselves in the folk-bluegrass scene. Completing the line-up are the brilliant Folk-Rockers Rusty Shackle, whose 2013 album 'The Bones' reached number 13 in the iTunes singer/songwriter charts.

Saturday's Marquee stage line up is headlined by the incredible London based six piece "GypStep band" Molotov Jukebox. Fronted by their hugely enigmatic frontwoman Natalia Tena (who's 'other' career as an actress has seen her appear in numerous high profile roles including About A Boy, Game Of Thrones and four of the Harry Potter movies). Also performing are The Eskies "Ireland's best 5-piece gentlemen's club who play gypsy-folk-noir with occasional brass and wind sections", County Antrim born Ciaran Lavery, hugely popular Bristol-based Acoustic magazine "Singer Songwriter Of The Year" Gaz Brookfield and Cambourne's Kezia, a 2-time winner of The Cornish Guardian's 'Best Female' Award.

As introduced in 2012 in recognition of the tough economic climate for families, all children under 12 can attend the festival for free (ticket is required). Chagstock's capacity is once again capped at just 5,000 tickets to ensure that its intimate, family-friendly atmosphere is maintained. Another unique factor about Chagstock is that all day tickets also include one night's camping.

Simon Ford Chagstock Festival organiser says, "With just two weeks to go, tickets are flying out and we urge anyone who intends to come to buy soon to avoid disappointment. With both Levellers and New Model Army headlining we have two of the best festival bands in the country, alongside many, many other brilliant acts. Of course, as always we are sticking to the non-corporate vibe and family friendly atmosphere with loads of great and varied music, food and entertainment"
