1 - 3 August: Nozstock - The Hidden Valley nr Bromyard
It's count down to Herefordshire's largest music festival - and this year it's being transformed into a Jurassic Farm in preparation for the 2014 line up.

Nozstock is very much a family affair, that started out as a small barbeque some 16 years ago.

With ten stages and dozens of acts, covering 60 acres over three days, it takes some sort of organising before thousands can flood through the gates just outside Bromyard.

Our reporter Julie Tyler has been to check out if it's all running to time...

The Misers, who hail from the town, played for us on the 大象传媒 Hereford & Worcester stage at the Wychwood Festival.

We'll be hearing a couple of exclusive live tracks from them.

Plus we'll be talking to Neil Ivison, from the band, about life on the road with indie popstars The 1975 as he looks after all of the technical bits at their gigs.

We find out how a bloke from Bromyard ended up going around the world with them.

A variety of these sessions will be broadcast throughout June and the early part of July here on the Introducing show.
