Joining them across the weekend will be grime heavyweight D DOUBLE E, dub veteran DAVID RODIGAN, disco legend CRAZY P SOUNDSYSTEM, and one of the UK’s most loved selectors SKREAM alongside many more.
A haven for those who like their festival a little more exciting and a lot more colourful, El Dorado offers much more than just an incredible line up. Festival goers can expect an unforgettable adventure, mesmerising theatrics and circus performers, gourmet street food, and deep discovery of the weird and wonderful world that is El Dorado.
Known for its eclectic music curation by Cirque Du Soul, as well as the experiential and interactive green field site, 2020 will see El Dorado unveil exciting new stages and double up on its arts programming. A packed schedule of bizarre and wonderful workshops as well as a developed wellness programme will compliment a four day music programme that spans genres of disco, house and bass.

Grammy Award winning and multi-platinum recording artist Al McKay created the EARTH, WIND & FIRE EXPERIENCE in 2015, honouring the original band. Set to headline across the weekend, the group will bring dance floor anthems and feel good vibes, honouring the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire.
From their humble beginnings as London club night promoters, Andy Cato and Tom Findlay aka GROOVE ARMADA will shake the trees of Eastnor Castle park. The duo have solidified themselves as one of electronic music’s most innovative, influential and recognisable acts. Storming onto the scene with their seminal debut album Northern Star, the duo quickly carved out their niche in the downtempo alcoves of dance music, garnering several GRAMMY and BRIT Award nominations along the way.
SKREAM is no ordinary artist and his commitment to music, and his fans, is unparalleled. Synonymous with producing and showcasing quality electric music, El Dorado is set to experience a sure fire set with tracks including In For The Kill (Ravey Remix), Ottis Chant and Summer Dreams.
One of the original pioneers of the jungle and drum & bass scenes, SHY FX is set to play an electrifying set of back-to-back bangers. A true innovator for dance music across the globe, SHY FX has recently collaborated with the likes of Lily Allen, Maverick Sabre, Ghetts, Kiko Bun, and many more with a brand new album set to be released this year.
Seven albums, a career spanning over 20 years and yet CRAZY P remains stronger and more relevant than ever. These guys are no strangers to the disco-house sound. Way before the rise in prominence of disco, house and soulful pop CRAZY P have spearheaded the revival. Fresh off the back of a sold out UK album tour with Age of the Ego, CRAZY P are set to shake the crowd at El Dorado this July.
25-year-old psychedelic soul singer GREENTEA PENG has been tipped as one to watch for 2020, and for good reason too. Both dark and light, half soul-search and half wise-cracking, GREENTEA PENG is set to take the crowd on a thought provoking journey with her honest lyricism and broken flows that marry together perfectly in a haze of zen.
