MUSIC lovers can enjoy a brand new one-day festival which is coming to Malvern on Sunday, August 27.
Line Up festival goers can expect an adventurous and exciting mix of music performances and arts workshops.
There will be free family-friendly arts workshops from 11am to 1pm.
Artist Amanda Jackson will be running a cyanotype workshop, where objects are assembled on pre-coated paper and exposed to sunlight to create artwork.
Another artist, Megan Evans, will be using paint blowing to create monsters and rocket ships.
Severn Arts Music Box will also be on site, packed with digital music-making equipment including DJ decks, electronic drum machines, synthesizers, and a vocal booth for people to climb aboard and have a go.
From 2pm to 10.30pm, there will be an eclectic programme of music including jazz, electronic, pop, drone and dance performed by Worcestershire musicians.
Lee Farley, Community Arts coordinator, said: "I'm unbelievably excited about Line Up Festival.
"I've been having conversations with friends and colleagues locally for many years about putting on something like this in Malvern; I'm so pleased it's finally happening.
"Huge thanks to Malvern Hills District Council and Severn Arts for supporting this opportunity.
"We have an incredible range of acts and workshops lined up from spoken word jazz poetry to a mechanical techno organ.
"This is a festival for adventurous, curious music lovers.
"We can't wait to see everyone at Malvern Cube."
Sam Underwood, Line Up festival performer and frontman of ORE said: "It’s great to have an event like Line Up starting locally.
"ORE are delighted to have been asked to perform.
"We live locally and have played alongside the amazing artists who will be performing, but never at an event so close to home.
"Line Up is breaking new ground and bringing some of the most exciting underground artists to Malvern."
The festival will take place at Malvern Cube, on Albert Road North, from 11am to 10.30pm.
