The popular My Dad's Bigger Than Your Dad Festival is back at The Old Town Bowl this July with a stellar line-up.

The popular My Dad's Bigger Than Your Dad Festival is back at The Old Town Bowl on Saturday 16 July from 12pm to 10pm and this year they've put together a stellar line-up.

The festival held its inaugural event in August 2021 in tribute to local music legend Dave Young who died of cancer in June of that year.

Like last year the festival will be raising money for Prospect Hospice, who provided care for Dave in his last few months.

So far the festival has announced some of the main stage and acoustic stage draws with amazing acts like Stay Lunar, Rave Against The Regime, All Ears Avow, The Lost Trades, Concrete Prairie, Joli & The Souls, Si and Matt Hall, The Shudders, Mick O'Toole, Kicking Edgar and Canute's Plastic Army. The main stage is in the Bowl itself whilst the acoustic stage is the the bandstand during the day.

There will also be a plethora of market stalls and rides for kids during the packed day out as well as a bar and food outlets.

Organiser Ed Dyer said: "This year's line-up is something we are really excited to be able to announce. Last year's event was such a success and so well received that we haven't messed with the formula, so expect the same entertainment-packed day from some of the best local musical acts around.

"The committee has also recognised that the current rise in the cost of living is causing a lot of people to struggle so we are very pleased to be able to announce that we have frozen our ticket price to 2021's level."

Tickets can be purchased online via the festival website at www.mydadsbiggerthanyourdad.co.uk 

Children aged 10 and under still go free and the organisers would like to remind members of the public that children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
