Love Supreme Festival returns to Sussex this weekend, with an array of talented stars taking to the stage.
The three-day event in the South Downs showcases Jazz, Soul & R&B, and happens on the first weekend in July.
Since its launch in 2013, the festival has hosted artists such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Gladys Knight, Nile Rodgers, Louie Vega and more.
Here is all to know about the event this year.
When and where is the Love Supreme Festival?

Glynde Place is an Elizabethan Manor House, and is the family home of the Viscounts Hampden, whose forebears built the house in 1569.
It is a Grade I listed building, with the adjacent church built in the 18th century.
As well as Love Supreme, from 2010 to 2013, the Meadowlands Festival was held in the grounds.
