IT LOOKS like people will be ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ at this year’s Wicked Hathern Fest, which has announced that Toploader will be joining The Hoosiers, Joe Lycett and many more to make this year’s lineup one of the most action packed yet.

Wicked Hathern Fest is in its sixth year, and once again is being staged at Dishley Grange Farm in between Hathern and Loughborou­gh on August 11 and 12.

Since forming in 1997, Toploader have over two million album sales to their name and a string of top 20 hits both home and abroad. Their debut album ‘Onka’s Big Moka’ sold over one million copies and remained in the top five of the UK album chart for over six months earning them four Brit Award nomination­s.

In 2000 the single ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ became a global hit spending over a year in European Airplay Charts transformi­ng Toploader into a household name. In 2013 the same track re-entered the top 40 for three weeks, an incredible 13 years after it was first released.

With a reputation as a genuine crowd-pleasing live band, Toploader have backed the likes of Paul Weller, Robbie Williams, Noel Gallagher, Tom Jones, Simple Minds and Bon Jovi, where they became the last British band to play the original Wembley Stadium.

They have also appeared at a host of festivals including Glastonbur­y, V-Festival, T In The Park and Chris Evans’s Carfest.
