This year’s event will be headlined by Neville Staple, the legendary frontman from the Specials, Fun Boy Three and Special Beat. Also known as the Original Rude Boy, he is credited with changing the face of pop music, not only once but twice with hit songs such as Ghost Town, Too Much Too Young and Gangsters.
 
He will be joined by festival favourites Jeremiah Ferrari, The Kubricks, Backstreet, Sons of Mark and many more acts performing at venues across Reepham: on the two Hansells Stages at Rookery Meadow (Saturday 6 August, 11.30 am – 8 pm), at Whitwell Station (Sunday 7 August, 12 noon – 8 pm) and The Crown (Sunday 7 August, 12 noon – 6 pm).
 
The festival was set up almost 15 years ago as an affordable family-friendly music extravaganza with profits from the event being given to charity and good causes within the local community.
 
Tickets for the festival are £35 and under 16s £1, which include access to all venues over the weekend.
