Limited tickets still available for day two of the festival with Skrillex and Public Enemy among the acts performing.

Some of the world’s greatest DJs and live electronic acts are set to take over Clapham Common on August bank holiday weekend.

Thousands of revellers will attend the massive two day South West Four (SW4) festival which takes place on August 25 and 26.

Tickets for Saturday’s festivities featuring acts including Chase and Status have already sold out, but limited tickets are still available for Sunday with headliner US dub-step supremo Skrillrex.

The triple Grammy Award winning producer said: “I’m so excited to be headlining SW4 this year. London is like a second home to me and there are so many friends performing as well. Great people! Great times!”

Joining him on the main stage will be hip hop royalty Public Enemy performing as part of their 25th anniversary tour and Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello in his final UK festival of 2012, as well as sets from Skream and Benga, Diplo, DJ Fresh, Crookers, Foreign Beggars and Rudimental.

Among the bumper line up in the DJ Magazine Arena is a DJ set from 2 Many DJs and the legendary from Eric Prydz, while music pioneer Pete Tong will have his own stage where he will present acts including Sasha.

Meanwhile, Andy C will headline the drum and bass arena, bringing his audio visual ‘Alive’ arc to SW4 for the very first time.

Drum and bass legends DJ Fresh and Friction will also appear, as well as Flux Pavilion, Jack Beats, Borgore, Delta Heavy, Loadstar, Doctor P and Dillon Francis.
