The first of these is planned for July 9-10, with the second taking place on from August 12-14. Tickets for the festivals are on sale from today.
Usually attracting crowds of over 10,000 at their standalone event, Director Ross Parkhill says things are unlikely to return to normal in 2021, but that the team were proud of their altered plans.

Northern Ireland’s Stendhal Festival has announced it will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year with two separate events.
The 10th instalment of the festival, which first took place in 2011, was supposed to take place at Balefully Cottage Farm this year, but due to the coronavirus pandemic it was cancelled.
Organisers have now said that they are much more optimistic about events returning in 2021 after the commencement of the roll out of a mass vaccination programme, which they say can be used in conjunction with social distancing plans they have already devised to ensure that the events can take place this summer.
