There are two days left to buy your tickets for Witney's biggest music event of the year featuring 90s chart-toppers EMF and former Inspiral Carpets frontman Tom Hingley.
Witney Music Festival kicks off on the Leys at 5pm on Friday with headliners local band The Inflatables plus Tom Hingley and The Kar-pets, Tom Moore, Jon Bovi and The Vodka Shots.
In the festival's first-ever dance tent will be PSR, James Condon, Sam Edney, DJ D, Groovetown Takeover and Paul ST8.
Saturday starts at midday and features headliners EMF, whose anthem Unbelievable topped the US charts in the 90s, plus Kanadia, 4th Labyrinth, Crowd Control Collective, The Mezz, The Standard, Genevieve Miles, Danny Mellin, Bevs, Jerichos, Chloe August and an Oxmat Showcase.
In the dance arena will be Matt Storm & Razbo, Nesko & Antix, James Condon, Surge Crew Takeover, Brett Hayes, Joe Crips, Dan DS, 90s Club Scene Takeover and The Original Dutty Disco, Raw Roadside Recordings feat MC Cruz B.
Tickets for Friday cost £5 and for Saturday £10 with under 14s free.
Chair of the festival committee Eric Marshall said: "Headliners EMF are in the middle of a 2022 tour which is taking them all over the UK so they will be on form by the time they hit Witney."
Hook Norton Brewery has stepped in to sponsor the event in place of Wychwood Brewery which withdrew its backing after five years after being taken over by Carlsberg.
Organisers, who revealed they have already had to invest their own money to keep the event afloat, faced a major headache as businesses struggling on the back of the pandemic, were not able to help.

But a plea to the public to buy tickets in advance to meet upfront costs also resulted in an incredible response, with organisers now expecting a capacity crowd.
Chair of the committee Eric Marshall said: "Things are going well - we are truly humbled by the support of the community as they get behind their local festival."
As well as music there will be Hatwell Brothers fairground amusements and Hook Norton Brewery bar and food stalls.
Organisers added: "Forecast SUN."
