The event will take place across the weekend of Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July at London's Victoria Park.

Duran Duran will be playing their only UK festival gig of 2009 on the Saturday night supported by rock/rap crossover collective N.E.R.D.

Lovebox will also be showcasing the very best in new and emerging talent with the hotly tipped Florence & The Machine, Friendly Fires and Fat Freddys Drop also confirmed for the Saturday night bill.

Sunday night will be headlined by Groove Armada who will be premiering a new live show featuring material from their forthcoming album. The band will be joined by Simian Mobile Disco and further acts to be confirmed shortly.

For those in need of a spot of outdoor pampering, Lovebox will host the largest farmer's market of any UK festival. A new addition for 2009 is Heavenly Healing, a fully comprehensive tented village of massage and complimentary therapies to kick off your weekend in style.
