Five nights of live music and comedy have been announced to take place at Dismaland, the latest installation from elusive street artist Banksy.

The so-called “bemusement park”, situated within a derelict lido in Weston-super-Mare, will run for five weeks from August 22, with gigs being staged on-site every Friday night.

Among the line-up of musical guests are London post-punk outfit Savages, hip-hop duo Run The Jewels and the renowned Russian protest band Pussy Riot.

There will also be sets from Massive Attack, Sleaford Mods, Kate Tempest, DJ Yoda, Peanut Butter Wolf, Breakbeat Lou and DJ Dapper Dan.

On September 11, things take a funny turn as Dismaland hosts a comedy night. Six comics, including Roger Monkhouse and Katherine Ryan, will take to the stage.
