Calvin Harris is set hype up the masses on Friday night as main support to The Streets. The Scottish indie-electro wizard will unleash his live sound upon the Relentless Boardmasters Watergate Bay site with a mix of old and new hits such as ‘ Vegas’, ‘Acceptable in the 80’s’ and his latest massive single ‘I’m Not Alone’.

The track has been tipped to be the ‘song of the UK summer’ by Dominic Byrne (Chris Moyles show, BBC Radio 1) as well as receiving rave reviews from the likes of Pete Tong and Zane Lowe.

‘I’m Not Alone’, released for digital download on April 4 2009, is an anthemic, uplifting dose of electronic creativity destined to be an instant dance anthem that will set the Watergate Bay site into a frenzy. Calvin Harris has a busy summer ahead with a number of festival performances scheduled after his headline tour across April and May with many of the shows already sold out.

Not shy of the spotlight, Harris has had a whirlwind career since his conception as an artist under the name ‘Stouffer’ in 2002 before signing to EMI records in 2006 at the tender age of 22 under his current persona. His debut album ‘I Created Disco’ was released a year later and lead to Harris supporting Faithless and Groove Armada on their UK tour.

Calvin Harris continues to go from strength to strength as both an artist, record producer and renowned remixer including collaborations with such icons as Kylie Minoque, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and featuring on Dizzee Rascals track ‘Dance Wiv Me’ last summer which flew to #1 in the UK charts.

Also added is British Dub Tech pioneers Dreadzone as the latest of many incoming addition’s for Saturday night’s bill. Since forming in 1992 Dreadzone have built a historic career with 5 studio albums, 7 chart smash hit singles, an appearance on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, supported Oasis and have performed live on Top Of The Pops.

Dreadzone have released a free download of their new single ‘For A Reason’ available from their website, it’s the first material to be released from the band’s forthcoming studio album to be released later this year. Already a firm live favourite, For A Reason’s vocal-led pop sensibilities, orchestral refrain and overwhelmingly upbeat vibe has set the tone for Dreadzone’s future which holds quite a few suprises as the band move forward and continue to shatter preconceptions.

The Streets & Cypress Hill headline The Relentless Boardmasters in association with Vans on Friday 7th August and Saturday 8th August respectively at the beautiful Watergate Bay festival site in Cornwall.

The Friday night also consists of hip-hop maestro Roots Manuva, electronic hip hoppers Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, folk, punk, reggae masterminds The King Blues and indie/rap trailblazer Master Shortie all conclude recent announcements.
