Festival line-up update – 12 Feb 2013

Cheltenham Jazz Festival

So, guess what? Yes, that’s right, The Wanted have signed on to play Northampton pop party Alive At Delapre. They’re the third and final headliner to be named, the others being James Morrison and Paul Weller.

The boyband’s Nathan Sykes has this to say: “We’re really looking forward to our show at Delapre Park. It should be a really great evening, especially with our mates Lawson as our very special guests”. Oh yeah, I forgot Lawson. As Nathan just said, The Wanted’s rivals/BFFs Lawson are playing too. Congratulations to all involved.

And with that it’s over to a similarly inspirational speech by Fatboy Slim, composed to coincide with his new booking at this year’s Rock Ness (the festival which began life in 2006 as a sort of Scottish version of his Brighton Beach Party).

He says: “Comin home to baby on the shores of Dores. RockNess I’ve missed you… feels so good to be heading back to see how my wayward child has grown. Roll on June, roll on The Scottish Highlands, roll on the party”.

Yeah, roll on Rock Ness. And roll on The Cheltenham Jazz Festival, whose HQ has just unveiled its first phase of players; not least Van Morrison, Madeleine Peyroux, Laura Mvula and Lianne La Havas. And roll on the Ramsgate-based and non-insular Sound Island, which will this year host Jessie J, Rita Ora and ‘X-Factor’ victor James Arthur (and Lawson).

And roll on The Great Escape, Nozstock, Osfest, SunceBeat and a Horrors-headlined Truck, who’ve also just shared their own artist revelations:
