"We've come a long way since the first Northern Bass in 2011, with a really loyal base of supporters who come back every year with their mates," says Northern Bass director Gareth Popham.
"Even before today's first line-up announcement, Northern Bass 19/20 is our fastest selling festival yet."
The festival features on-site camping and food outlets such as Burgerfuel, Fatimas and Hell Pizza.
Tickets to the festival are on sale now.
