Headliners revealed for Foxton Locks festival

-

THE organisers of this year’s Foxton Locks Festival are excited to announce its headline acts for the festival over the weekend of June 16-17.

Headlining on the Saturday night are King King - Glasgow’s favourite sons have been nominated for Best New Band at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour and handed back-toback British Blues Awards. They have proved their mettle on bills with Thunder and John Mayall, triumphed as far afield as Mumbai and taken the roof off major venues from the 02 Glasgow to Wembley Arena.

And just for something different, Sunday’s headline act is The Rutles.

Appearing at Foxton Locks Festival as a part of their ‘Major Happy Tour’ the legendary Rutles will be bringing their own unique brand of musical ‘Pork Pies’ to the audience. No other tribute band dis- tributes joy or writes their own songs or tops the charts of ‘Make Believe’ quite like these jolly foot-tapping economists of truth.

By popular demand these grandees of delusion will be taking back control of barefaced fibbing, saluting the sovereignt­y of silliness and ceremoniou­sly reinstatin­g the obvious.

More details of acts and the festival will be released in the next few weeks but in addition to the headlining music acts there will be nonstop arena attraction­s on both days, a children’s fun fair, more than 100 craft and associated stalls and not forgetting the ever popular real ale bar and extensive food village.

Details of overnight camping pitches will be released in the next few weeks so you can make the most of the festival without having to drive home late at night. To find out more, visit http://www.foxtonlock­sfestival.co.uk/
