The popular three-day Lechlade Music Festival returns again next month with headline performances from Alexandra Burke and the Boomtown Rats.
The multi award-winning, family-friendly festival has bounced back for 2022, after the pandemic kept the event out of the calendar for two years.
This year's festival will run from Friday 27 - Sunday 29 May.
The Boomtown Rats and Alexandra Burke will be the glittering headline acts for the tenth anniversary of the much-anticipated festival.
Both acts will headline the Renishaw Main Stage on the Sunday night, closing the show on what is described as a 'stupendous line-up of live music.'
Over 100 artists will perform across five stages during the three days.
This year sees the addition of a new second arena, a silent disco and a cabaret stage.
The cabaret stage will be graced by a host of internationally acclaimed artists along with local talent.
Friday serves as tribute night with performances from Guns or Roses and JK as Robbie Williams.
In addition, across Friday and Saturday, the introduction of the Music Lab Open Mic sessions will give would-be performers the chance for a slot at the festival.
Included in the ticket price are Lechlade's free family workshops. This will give people the chance to try samba dancing, arts and crafts and even a taster session on a variety of music instruments.
There will also be a wide variety of stalls, serving food and
real ales, sweets, festival accessories, handmade clothes, jewellery, vintage and retro items, guitars, and body art, to round off the festival experience.
Local businesses and organisations have stepped in to support and sponsor the event, including engineering giants Renishaw, Swindon-based GS Yuasa Europe, Zapp Active, and Edward Bays Ltd.
Sponsoring the family workshop tents, is The Royal International Air Tattoo.
Tickets can be purchased online via the festival website at lechladefestival.co.uk/tickets/buy-tickets.html or at the Lechlade Post Office (incurring no booking fee).
Children 16 and under still go free and festival organisers would like to remind members of the public that children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The festival team deem those over the age of 25 bearing a valid adult tickets to be responsible.
